Your going to like tuning it :-o
you have to remove the slide for every adjustment with my ziptie tank its a pain in the butt and the one in my T4 is worse you have to remove the carb every time other than that the are great.

This conversion is so tight, I have to disassemble this bike to do just about everything anyway. I'm pretty excited to ride it. I think my old carb was worn out a bit, so this should really wake her up.
DoldGuy:
That is a 44 Lectron, Packard can (or could) turn down the O.D. Of the carb to fit the stock intake boot just as the PWK.
Umberto, I hope your cable setup works well for you, if you have issues, I posted about the cables I had made specific to the KX500 using a Lectron & the stock throttle assembly, which fits very well.
I'm also curious about your PWK that was on your 500, have you pulled the main jet block off to inspect its o-ring (has 2 security torx bolts holding it on)?

umberto:
Thank you for clearing the carb size up Doldguy. We talked about a lot of different things, and I was more focused on tuning and installation. Plus I have the attention span of a gnat. :-D. Dennis did turn it down quite a bit, but he still recommended boiling it for long term. It's close, but just a bit bigger. The throttle cable works really smoothly so far, but I'll keep an eye on it. I don't want to hang a throttle on something this fast.
I'm at a swim meet with my son today, but I will take a look at the stock carb when I get home tomorrow. I am assuming it is worn because it ran so much better with Danger's carb on it, even though the jetting was close in both carbs.
