Smart Carb? - Any Experience?
So lots of RB mod info and a fair bit on the Lectrons. But anybody try a smart carb? Yes a bit more money, but I've been looking into them and watching quite a few reviews. I'm seriously tempted to give one a try on my build. Just thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone has actually run one. Cheers.

Re: Smart Carb? - Any Experience?
I know of a few people who tried them back when they were pretty new and had nothing but tuning issues with them. Of course, that's been some time ago.

Re: Smart Carb? - Any Experience?
Got a positive response from SmartCarb - Slick_Nick was correct about fitment issues by the sounds of it....... sounds like they get lots of KDX interest and curious if they'll send me something so I can start looking into the fitment issue.....
Hi Robert,
Thank you for your interest in the SmartCarb for your 2002 KDX220. Happy to answer your questions.
Unfortunately we don’t have a good fit for that bike at this time and it is due to the frame contact related fitment issues you’d mentioned. We’re really needing to get one in-house for a longer term study on what it’ll take to equip. We get inquiries about them daily – very popular bike.
We’d be interested in having you assess fitment with a 3D print, but we’ll need to generate those drawings without proprietary internal features before we send any out. I’ll see what I can do to pull that together for you.
What file type/format would you prefer for your printer?
Best,
Nathan Dyess
