I’m currently stuck on decision, would be interested in input on impressions on single track.

I'm in Roseville. I have entered the occassional enduro in the past. MN District 23 has 6 trail rides, 6 enduros & (1 "sprint") scheduled this year!
So it looks like many opportunities for organized rides (meaning everyone goes the same direction)!

What are your thoughts on the carb

update!!! sorry for the long wait, winter didn't want to end here in MN. The bike started on second kick with the new carb ran really well. Great power in every gear. I'm not sure I will need to adjust it. This was only a small test down the road and back so I will update again after a trail ride which should hopefully be this weekend.

Full test this weekend on some very technical single track, hill climbs, faster atv trails, and mx track with the new carb and had zero issues. Bike always started first or second kick and felt great. I'm very pleased with this Lectron carb.

Hi Tschida Enduro, you convinced me to buy a Lectron, thank you for sharing your experience with us. You mentioned earlier that you did not had problem with the throttle cable. Did you use the one that Lectron send with the carb, was it too long, did you have to modified it. Thanks in advance, sorry for my poor English as my first language is French

Welcome to kdxrider.

Thanks for the welcoming Jason, great place here to learn and talk about the venerable kdx. It is my second two stroke after a 25 years break, i am loving it, it is like I am 14 years old all over again

Can you give us the full test update narrative...including you location and elevation? How ‘bout a little more detail on acceleration, changes to low/mid/upper rpm power, idling, bogs, etc?

what metering rods are you guys using?

also, please measure the length from the brass seat to the end of the needle (rod whatever) , that will give folks a great idea where to start.

i have a 36mm lectron in hand, but the bell intake and output are much larger diameter than the kdx air box or reed boot will accept.

I'm torn between heating up the epoxied bell ends and removing them vs making adapters. don't want to screw up this current $500 paper weight !
