30MM carbs, Lectrons and Hybrids Oh My....
Posted: 10:47 am Apr 14 2020
I have a 2000 CR125 with an e series KDX motor. The e series motor is basically stock, runs an FMF Gnarly pipe and Turbine II silencer. Other than that, it's fairly stock motor wise. The jetting on the stock carb is finicky and frankly, that carb has a lot of tool wear in addition to being over 25 years old so for that an other reasons, I'm looking at doing a lectron replacement if only it will save me having to remove it to adjust. That alone is a lifesaver.
In looking at using a lectrons, there's not likely a way that a 34mm lectron will fit without cutting areas I'm unwilling to cut. I CAN...however, potentially put in a 30mm. Same carb as in the KTM freeride. From a performance standpoint, this might actually be ideal. I want essentially a trials like power delivery in an MX frame. A small carb might further this goal..however. I see folks have run 30's on KDX's and it no doubt impacts top end a lot but I'm trying to get a sense of how badly. Personally, a lot of grunt from closed to half throttle is something I prefer to any amount of top end.
Anyone with positive or negative experience running either a lectron or a tiny carb (or both) ?
