Anyone heard of this?
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=12&ved=2ahUKEwiPnKnpovfgAhWQWysKHTl6B8UQFjALegQIBRAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftechnologyelevatedco.com%2Fproduct%2F38mm-cast-smartcarb%2F&usg=AOvVaw3W_IzFWBW847bbEzQcHRLZ

Made in USA. Appears to be a direct competitor to Lectron.

Anyone any experience with Lectron carbs?

No, but looks interesting. No jets, external easy adjustments, and alleged +10-14% HP and +30% MPG.

Nope.  Interesting though.  I will definitely be keeping an eye on this thread.

A mate had a Lectron carb on a cruiser said it was very responsive. I note that Lectron have added a power jet to some of their carbs. Adding another circuit is a sign of not enough flexibility to cover the rev range. Hmmm. FCRs have a million circuits and many potential adjustments.

The dirt guys appear to be the ones using these carbs. Any drag racer types ever used these?

Correction. It was an Edlebrock Quicksilver flatslide with similar design. Out of production I think.

Heres a possible solution if you can modify your manifolds to run horizontal cross draft carbs. No pumpers so maybe for 750s.

I couldnt find FCR's on Monsterparts site. Would have been my first pick to share.

http://power-barn.com/keihin-fcr-split-carburetor-kits-for-ducati-m900-900ss/

Powerbarn have quite a good deal on these.

I like the many adjustable circuits on FCR's as they provide many tuning options for engine modifications, individual preference and intended purpose. Like adjustable suspension, full of traps if you get it wrong but great potential for range of adjustment. Tuning for engine character from smooth to angry and anywhere between is possible.

See the Powerjet hanging? Shows they needed an extra circuit to let the MJ be an upper midrange jet with the Powerjet handling WOT👍
