Default Anyone have experience with Lectron Carb's??

Hey folks,

I recently got set up again with WPS-Hardrive. My rep has been trying to turn me on to the Lectron Carb, but i have ZERO expereince or knowledge about this carb setup. I've watched the videos and understand the theory, but does anyone have practical experience with them to confirm the claims, or is just hype?? Please let me know, thanks.

marco

i would stick with the populace, easier to find/get parts when the time comes.
everyone has an agenda. tip: two bars of lava soap in a wool sock inside the air cleaner is good for 20% power boost, use the black bar if you have carbon buildup on the piston crown!

I’m curious about any feedback you get since I am also interested in Lectron but have never talked to anyone that actually has or had one.

thanks for the responses so far. i might have to just buy it and try it, but since these have been around so long and no one wants to talk about them, i'm a little leery here......

Not much help for you but I used them on a ProGas 160” engine. Worked good at WFO. Didn’t really pursue part throttle ops.
Let us know the outcome.

Buddy had one on a shovel 40 years ago
It worked , can`t say it was appreciably better or worse than the Bendix it replaced
