How does the Lectron carb work?

How does the Lectron carb work?

The Lectron carburetor uses divergence to create “Fuel-Lift”. The shape and contour of the ground surface of the metering rod controls how much fuel is allowed to be drawn up in response to the extremely strong fuel pick-up signal.

What is special about Lectron carbs?

Increased Horsepower and Torque: The Lectron carburetor is a performance-enhancing carburetor that is designed to increase horsepower and torque for your fastest, most powerful ride yet. Torque and horsepower increase of a minimum of 10% over competitors is expected.

How do you lean out Lectron carbs?

To tune the rod, remove the slide and hold the slide to where the rod is pointing towards you. Turning it to the right will richen it. Turning it to the left will lean it.

Do Lectron carbs work on 4 strokes?

*Lectrons are a great choice for riders seeking performance, fuel economy, simplicity and smoother power delivery. *Most 4 stroke engines idle around 1,500 – 2,400 RPMs this is where 4 stroke Lectrons function best but no lower.

How much HP does a Lectron carb add?

Lectron’s dyno testing has shown a 20% increase in torque and horsepower at 5000RPM compared to the outgoing 38HV on a KTM 250. This is what riders refer to as “bottom end.” It is the meat of the powerband for off-road riding, and creates faster acceleration out of corners for all disciplines.

Is a Lectron carb like fuel injection?

If you want the ease and consistency of a fuel injected 4 stroke but the feeling, weight, and agility of a 2 stroke, buy this carb and put it on your 2 stroke and be done with it! It’s a great product and you won’t be disappointed! Everything with a carburetor needs a Lectron.

What does the needle and seat do?

The first stop for the flow of fuel coming into a carburetor is the needle and seat. Essentially, this is a basic valve. The seat is typically conical and the needle has a point which seals against the seat to stop fuel from entering the carb at a certain level. This prevents flooding the engine and engine compartment.

Do Lectron carbs have jets?

Although the original Lectron® carburetor of 1974 did not have a power jet, all modern iterations of the design come with at least one or more power jets to provide additional fuel to the mix from mid to top.

Are Lectron carbs fuel injected?

How do I know if I am running rich or lean?

But what is the difference between an engine running rich or an engine running lean? The expression running rich or lean is in reference to the amount of gas that you have in the engine. If there is too much gas, then you will be running rich, and if there isn’t enough gas, then you are running lean.

Do lectron carbs have jets?

How do you know if a 2 stroke is running rich?

keeping the engine under a light load (you will only be opening the throttle to 1/2 or so) If the needle is set too rich you will hear a sputtering like the choke is on and the acceleration will be slow. If the clip position is too lean the engine will sound quiet and have a “dead” feeling possibly hesitating.

How does the LECTRON® carb work?

The bore of the Lectron® carb is not straight, but incorporates a taper to increase the air velocity. Maximum air velocity is obtained at the point where the patented metering rod vaporizes the fuel with the passing air.

Does Lectron carburetor affect airbox airflow?

The Lectron carb is longer than stock, so It wrinkles the boot from the airbox. It’s not much, and If it does affect airflow negatively, the power gains compensate for it. The install guide says to cut the boot back if needed, but for my application, I don’t think that’s necessary.

How does a carburetor work?

In an engine a rapid repeating sequence of controlled explosions in the combustion chamber creates the power. The carburetor must mix the air and fuel in the correct proportions to obtain an optimum air to fuel ratio. The carburetor creates this air/fuel ration by responding to the vacuum created inside the manifold of the engine.

What is Lectron fuel management system?

The beauty of the Lectron Fuel Management System is its ability to “read” the fuel requirements based on air flow volume (density) and temperature to automatically provide the proper fuel/air mixture. Naturally there are limitations with any designed metering system.
