jamex:
A carb that requires no jetting & when you have the mixture rod dialled in correctly, you don't ever have to worry about altitude variations or ambient changes!?!

Has anyone heard of these or had anything to do with them, sounds fantastic, too fantastic, but a very interesting website:

Used on UAVs, this has really got my attention, but the price, I want more info, I hope that someone has some experience with them....

just my .02$ from what ive seen...good idea thats hit or miss. known of a couple people put them on and end up going back to a keihin due to not being able to dial it in correctly.
others put it on and have no issues and work great in elevation change. they are $$$, especially the billet version. i think they may have rushed the product a bit to market.

They are an evolution on the lectron carb from what I have read but they seem to be very hit and miss. Their release has been delayed numerous times due to problems and a lot of people gave trying to set them up and went back to their old carb out of frustration. I must admit I would be curious to try one.

Alward25 has been threatening to get one for months..../
I wish he would do it...  :-o

LukeG:
On the cafe husky site there have been some good discussions about the smart carb and the lectron. I think APT pissed a lot of people off by not releasing the carbs when they promised. I know locally a Lectron will set me back $550 plus fine tuning.
