So after scratching my head desperately trying to figure what the hell was going on with my set up on my hybrid, I said screw and dumped the cash on a 36mm lectron. Probably the best investment I have spent so far on my bike. 2nd gear hill climbs, Instant throttle response lifting the front wheel whenever I want, power all through the rpm and best of all increased mileage. The only thing left to do is a head mod, shock revalve, and rekluse clutch mod.

Were you running a KX carb prior to the Lectron?

Maybe it's just me but it looks like your float bowl has too much gas.

Just now noticed that, runs and doesn't flood so I don't know. Was supposed to come set from the factory.
In this video it seems like its off as well but runs fine?

A quick note, this is running a 36-38mm airboot off the cr250, and a KDX Radvalve.

Not cheap. $445.00. Price went up a little in the last year, but I honestly had enough working with 20 year old carbs.

I had seen that video as well some time back. If I remember correctly, the "blogger" contacted Lectron and they walked him through setting the correct float height as his was a little high from the factory as well. I would love to try one but not sure it would fit with my rear shock and really don't have the extra dime for it right now. My two boy's race bikes kinda take priority right now.

I'm ashamed to say I don't know. Kids and life has gotten in the way of my riding. I just got everything buttoned back up last weekend so I'm hoping to find out soon.
