If you are a racer and you know you're racing one track, at one elevation, at one temperature, learning how to become a carb wizard is a competitive advantage. but for myself - someone who grew up riding trails from 1500-4500 in whatever weather you got that day, we ran rich to be safe and i never once had the privilege of running a perfectly jetted carb. 2nd gear into 3rd had a very specific bog that i knew how to double clutch the rpms out of on a dead sprint. the first time i ran my bike with an lectron i almost died clicking into 3rd when the front wheel shot off the ground and the power band ripped my face off. it made the throttle more responsive in every single gear (almost too responsive at first) and it completely changed my muscle memory of exploiting the clutch to get off bottom. for a trail rider that doesn't want to or have the time to tear down a carb it's the best thing for a 2 stroke since they turned the shocks the other way around. 1/4 throttle and 3/4 throttle feel like very different things now. weirdly i feel the bike has more compression to kick but is easier to start. Could just be because of the fresh top end around the time the lectron was installed, but in my experience even cold i rarely use the choke to kick the bike over. i'm no rocket surgeon just my experience. it's now a must have for me

My buddies always wondered why my bike ran so good . Man , that Lectron Carburetor sure took the guess work out of the Carburetor adjustment's . I knew they were really good , but I didn't know they are that darn good . Thank you , Jeff for sharing your experience and video on the awesome carburetor from Lectron . I like your riding style too . Pin it and ride like you stole it ! You blew away every bike on the track .

[@mikebrown41182]

I am going to order one for my special project build chevy kawi kx 250 two stroke. It seems like the consensus by listening to riders that can squeeze two strokes to their potential well simply just agrees on increase performance. Not saying stock Carbs can be good properly jetted. And obviously a dyno can give you great numbers and what not, but actually feeling the bike out on the track throttle connection and how it performs is in the end my justification for getting one. And yeah some great bike builds for example (luczaks) and Seelys has been paired with a lectron and in connection to some of the best engine tuners in the buiss have produced great engines with the lectrons together with heavy engine modifications aswell. Yeah it looks sexy aswell. I guess the new bottom end makes the analog to the feel of the standard carbs more than the H series? But i might be wrong there. Great ride and video 👌🏼

The AMA needs to drop the two stroke handicap from national races. In other organizations that run 2T and 4T equal cc to cc it has been extremely successful. Privateers can run 2T on a lower budget and still be competitive.

[@ethan_martin]

What organizations are you referring to? I think the handicap could use some adjustments (e.g. the ktm 150sx is a much better alternative to the 250 4 stroke than a 125), but definitely _not_ equal cc. All else being equal, two strokes just measure higher in overall power, so it wouldn't really make sense to allow 250 2 strokes to race with 250 4 strokes in an ultra-competitive scenario for example.

Forgot to mention the new model Electron carb finally put the choke lever on the proper side ! 😁 It seems to me, as it did on the CR 125 , that it actually is more boggy down low and at the initial off throttle response !

[@DislodgedTKO]

Personally from my experience is that the lectrons are good. They work. But you wont see significant power gains from a properly jetted carb to the lectron carb. But most people have mis jetted bikes and see significant gains because the jetting automatically adjusts from a misjetted setting to a "properly jetted" lectron. For me personally im gonna put the 800 into a Hinson and 30min to swap jets

[@user-mo8tm4jw2l]

I spent over 40 hours tuning the lectron to get it to run “just right” at my altitude because I’m ocd af when it comes to how my motor runs. Their settings were NEVER even close to right. Despite very very accurate descriptions of altitude, parts and rider skill level. Lectron was always off. Never right. Close yes. Good enough to ride for a trail ride. Yep. Absolutely. But if you chase perfection in how your bike runs your going to notice a HUGE power gain with a standard carb compared to the lectron. Can’t agree with ya more man. My lectrons on eBay right now 😂😂 ya just can’t beat a pocket full of brass. Jetting is easy if your detail minded.

Listen to StankeDog on what he does. I think you leave a little power on the table with the Lectron but you certainly have to fiddle with it less. Especially this time of year. For the carb just loosen the subframe lower bolts. Remove the upper and pull the muffler off. Fooling with the intake boot and space adds enough time that just rotating the subframe speeds it up. Unless you are on an xc or xcw with a battery....

40 years of 2-stroke experience here and i can say it sounds dang near spot on. IMO the "bog" some are referring to is due to deep rutted mud. You might, and i do mean might, get a little more overrev by adding more power jet but exhaust components play a role in that. It should be noted that overrev is not a healthy engine characteristic long term. Your point of being able to go anywhere and have the bike perform very well was missed I suppose. Which is exactly why i switched to a Lectron in 2019. Love the 2t content, and hats off clearing the finish line jump in the mud and rain. Next up, a CR500 AF with a counterbalanced crank if you would please

[@FourthWayRanch]

how do you think it compares to a mikuni TMX38 carb? what altitude range can they cover without having to change jets?

[@orijinalgamesta9738]

@@FourthWayRanch i can only speak from my experience with a Mikuni 38 and a Lectron HV38 and that is limited to 2 dirt bikes. Everything else ive had came with Kiehin. A 2017 ktm 250 and a 2019 ktm 150. First is both came with the same exact mikuni38 carb. The 250 runs great and the 150 ran like poo. When i put the Lectron on the 150 it ran better and more efficiently but i was missing some bottom end torque. After some Q and A with several people who know much more than i do i bought and installed a Kiehin 36mm from JD Jetting for the 150. Completely new bike. The increased velocity of air flow through the smaller diameter carb is exactly what the small bore 150 needed to get the bottom end power i wanted for trail riding purposes. The Lectron in theory needs no further adjustment incr you have it tuned to your bike. There are no jets. Only a metering rod. From what i can gather, it works in conjunction with air volume and density to determine the fuel/air ratio which means you should never have to move the metering rod once its set no matter the altitude or temperature. I ride 400 to 2500 feet ASL so altitude has never really been a factor for me, only temperature. Hope this helps

36 years of twostroke experience talking here: You had a badly carbureted bike before. I couldn't believe you continued to ride your bike there as it was pretty clear it was WAAAAY too lean. If you had the knowledge or experience of how a properly carbureted engine runs you would have stopped immediately, also to prevent the engine from a possible seizure. Anyway - it just showed me that your technical knowledge on twostrokes is lacking. So i can definitely understand the switch to the Lectron...BUT i have to tell you i'm not impressed on how it sounds. To me it doesn't sound crisp. to me it seems still lean down low and it seems maybe a tad fat on top? It doesn't seem to rev out as it should.

The lectron will give you a better overall running in varied conditions but a properly jetted kehien pwk carb will outperform any other carb available. But that would take different tweaks and some jet changes from time to time.

@@jetdr my bike does that when started with the choke on, goes nuts and scared the shit out of me too! I think its about time for a billitron.

@@derek3107 I highly recommend them, easy install. I also replaced my Reeds since I had it apart. went with the Boyesen Pro Reed, Bike has all kinds of grunt.

awesome mate i put a lectron on my new sons gas gas 65 .... best money i have spent

[@vmcmark7578]

But what did you do for your ""OLD SON""? Is he happy with his being regulated to that status? Do you have some old wives as well? Just busting your balls mate!!!

[@dr00andrew]

i really wish people would take the time to properly jet the stock carb as opposed to wasting 500$ on a lectron. talk to any 2 stroke tuner and they will tell you nothing beats a properly tuned carburetor

[@brandonknowles2246]

He gets it for free so he probably has no interest in jetting the bike.

[@user-mo8tm4jw2l]

Me too. I tried to give the lectron a chance. Coming from a background of jetting and liking all my bikes running crisp and perfect I just could NOT get the lectron to be right. It was always down on power. No matter the altitude. Even when it ran it’s best. It was never crisp enough even though it would get close when the weather was perfect. It just never had the oomph the stock carb did when jetted correctly. The sheer amount of plugs the lectron fouled for me over that time I used it is INSANE. Never fouled one with a mik or keihin. I went from the mik to a keihin 36/39 taper bore mod carb from dicks because I put a 36 keihin on my 300 and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Just wanted some more over rev from the 250 so did the taper bore mod. Never looking back. There is no carb I’ve used on this bike that’s been better than a keihin but the stock mik if your anal can be jetted very well and run very well. For about 60 bucks instead of over 600 bucks you could just jet the stock carb right. Or still spend half the lectron and get a keihin and be super dialed.

[@XecuTionNxx]

18+ ktm carbs are dog shit lol there's no saving them

[@user-mo8tm4jw2l]

@@XecuTionNxx they’re quite bad. But you can make them run right. The correct carb is always a keihin though. 😉

[@andrewmx2586]

@@user-mo8tm4jw2l the only reason I got one is elevation change. I race harescrambles and vary a lot in elevation. Sadly the organization I race in does not allow practice before the race because it gives an unfair advantage to riders. I also have a 2003 cr 250 which I noticed to be one of the toughest bikes to jet that I have owned. I like jetting carbs and getting the bike perfect just the way I want it. It’s just tough changing temperatures changing altitudes and not being able to test ride you bike.

[@Fixin2Ride-Official-]

DUDE!? I didn't even know you were there that day. LOL- was there with some buds recording. I would stopped by and said yo! I'm new to MX and dirt bikes technically speaking. Just turn 44 in October and just got my first bike last spring (2020) be watching your videos with a host of others. And started MX this year. Ran 4 Races this season with GoPro on my channel of them. Raced at Twisted MX, Polka Dots and Baja Acres (6 weeks after breaking 5 ribs at Twisted-ha ha) SO Fun! This was my first time at this track and it was pretty gnarly. But deff fun! Can't wait for the Spring. P.S. Do you know of any indoor tracks near us? (I'm in Livonia) Andrew C.

[@tpelectricco.3762]

I’ve been using a lectron Carb on my 2018 250sx since it was new and I can say it works anywhere from sea level to about 7,000 feet then you can feel the elevation rob you of power. Also the stock reeds are garbage they should be changed ASAP

[@theexisting1514]

Sick video! when ripping the track what gears are you using mostly??

[@jakegentle7853]

This man’s goated on the two banger

[@andrewhenshall8653]

I put one on my yz250 2 stroke and can't live without it soooooooo much quicker with predictable liner power awesome fuel economy and can rev it to the moon but I'm only a intermediate weekend warrior

[@The-Host]

Living at altitude, I'll never know how good a 38mm carb feels haha. Buy I do love my lectron. Took a little tweaking to get her right. But I can go from 4500 ft to 12k+ without a single hiccup.

[@jacklavalley8245]

My CR125 started 2nd kick in 32 degree weather. Lectrons are insane

[@geewhiz289]

Mikuni has a flaw with the center block oring that fails and the stock slide is incorrect, all that being fixed properly the mikuni is still not as good as the keihin 38. The lectern and smart carb are basically single circuit designs and cannot be tuned as precisely as the tri circuit carbs like mikuni/keihin

[@vmcmark7578]

Does KTM still recommend 60:1? My older 250SX had that in the owners manual & I've always used Maxima Formula K2 at 60:1 and spent a couple hours getting it dialed in jetting & power valve spring wise & it is the PERFECT DO ANY/ALL THINGS bike. 13 counter sprocket for moto with 3 gear starts, BANG-BY BY 450's, swap out the tank & put on a 14 counter sprocket & head on out for some AMA District GP's or nice long trail rides. It will bog all the down to almost nothing, LUG-CHUG quick finger on the clutch lever & AWAY YOU GO. I put on a different pipe so that it was thick enough to SURVIVE the hazards of ""HANGING OUT, MAN"" the way they do & with the USFS Spark arrestor the power band smoothed out & revved out longer, perhaps the extra length was the cause? GPR4 "Under The Bar" to take away the twitches & all is good in the land of the orange rocket ship to FUNLAND!!! Sure use way more rear brake pads than with the 4st !!! Wonderful do it all machine, have fun....................MR

I need to just go ahead and buy the lectron, I e been putting it off for my son's 150sx for too long.

[@gc5157]

I just ordered the new lectron for my bike. I currently have the last lectron model on there that required the longer throttle cable. Will I be able to use that longer cable with my new billetron?

[@LectronFS]

Yes you can. You will just need to thread the adjusters out to get the proper freeplay.

[@moritzgusenbauer3148]

Could you share with us which Lectron Rod Spec you are running on the 250SX?

[@slickricktheruler]

Lectron is awesome

[@mav459]

When you experienced the harder pull on the throttle, what did you do to fix it? I am noticing the same thing after installing my lectron. Any help is appreciated!

[@200xcBruce]

That fuel line looks a bit short perfect for installing a filter. Like to know how it works in the woods you held WFO. Did they give to you? Or you paid retail $599

[@coryrose3085]

If you can do a comparison between the billetron and the normal lectron carb

[@rollypollyraviolli4474]

I was really looking into them, but the fact that there is no TPS system on them really removes some of the appeal. Having the throttle able to provide inputs into the CDI as a 3d ignition map is really kinda a huge deal that I feel they blow off. It's very old school. Meanwhile, Smartcarb has all the modern tech for the same price-point, or even better yet, a STIC can be had for half the price.

[@Shattuck66]

I wonder if riding the two stroke for a couple of laps is a good workout as I feel like you tend to work harder on a two stroke

[@hendrixwatson8952]

Hey Jeff are you going to toss on your A kit from the race bike ?

[@2strokewilson46]

Would of been a better test if you jetted standard carb properly before installing lectron

[@DGfilms1996]

Those stock carbs honestly suck ass without major modifications. Lectron and Keihin pwks are much better carbs
