    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

[FONT=proxima_novasemibold]Mikuni VM44 Round Slide 44mm Carburetor Hey guys anyone run these 44 mm round slides on their engines? Pretty cheap compared to the lectron carbs.[/FONT]
 
30 years ago they were the hot ticket. Lectrons are the only way to go if you are carbureted.

Ray - are Lectrons any use for the road?

How about the Mikuni Multijets?

Greetings
Lectrons are great for drag bikes or street race bikes but not good for street riding. They idle at 1500 rpm or higher as they have no idle circuits. I ride my small tire bike up to the line & back to the pits after every run without issue though. If I do a REALLY hot street race type 1570 motor but want to actually ride it on the street, I would use 4 big Keihin flat slide dirt bike carbs, just to have the idle circuits.
Ray.
 
The 4 big mikunis will work great!! you have to commit to tuning them in and buy the correct pilot jets, don't forget there are 3 styles that fit into the bodies - and frustration will set in if you have the wrong type.
