Any body running a 40 Lectron?

Motorrad:
Did any of my drunken rambling help?

tobys 2 strokes:
I think so.
The same size needle will flow more fuel (run richer)  in a smaller carb due to the higher velocity?? is this right?
I am thinking I might need a 6-3 I might be ok with the 5-2 but will be on the far side of its adjustability .I will hopfully have time to play with it this weekand.
It sure is a pain to make adjustments to. i have 3 4 wheelers that have lectrons on them and i am able to just loosen the clamps and turn the carbs to removethe top but with my bike i have to remove the seat and tank.
This bike always ran real good with the Pwk but the Lectron already feels so much crisper and more responsive.

Big Yac:
so are the Lectron carbs more for dune or desert riding where you're running more wide open for longer periods of time than on a KX 500 ridden in the woods?  Whats the advantage of the Lectron units over the stock carbs?  Thanks.
