Is anyone here running a Lectron carburetor? I had an opportunity to buy a new one up for a deal and went for it. Been eyeing them for a while, really really stoked about this. My dad used to race with Lectrons when they first came out in the 70s, and he has always sworn by 'em; my dad still uses Lectrons on his KTM enduro bikes he still rides.

If someone here is running a Lectron carb, I have a few simple questions for you:
- Did you use a Super E intake manifold, or just use the stock manifold and add spacers to the breather bolts?
- Did you experience any practical fuel economy increase?
- Would you have bought one in the first place knowing what you know now?

My Sportster 1250 build is just about done. Have a bit of fab work and the initial heat cycling to do and then it'll be ready for paint!

 

This guy is running a g manifold

Yeah I saw that post, super wild setup. G and E manifolds are the same, I'm not going to be running that wild tract extension thing he's got haha.

 

Probably not too many here have any idea what a Lectron is ;>)

 

Have a feeling we're going to soon.

 

haha, i’ll gladly be THAT PERSON who won’t shut up about their lectron.
