in my opinion the 44 Lectron would be your best choice of carb for WOT racing.

I would definitely agree with Roost Daddy I love the 44 lectron for WOT racing, it works the best in my opinion.

Dennis Packard also sells a 45mm lectron and I've been kickin around puttin a 48 on my dragbike but its gonna take a custom intake cause the factory rubber boot isn't big enough. Jfab made me custom blanks for the intake , but I'm the slacker on this end and need to get my butt in gear.CBX
Yep, you can ride it - if YOU can start it !!

So the 44 Lectron is the way to go, good to know. Where can I buy one new, does Sudco sell this one or shoudl I look around more.
Also, what are the pros and cons of the sleeves available? Some like them and some do not, what reason would someone dislike these? Do they cause tuning issues?
I am going to run stock bore on this one for a season or two. No reason to go bigger. I just want to get as much out of this one as possible.

I use fastbygas.com call them up and tell them what you are doing and they will get you pretty darn close to where you need to be with the set up. Definitely buy the tool to adjust the needle, it makes it a breeze, with no damage to the needle. Just remember everyone likes their bike setup a little different so btune it to your liking. For trail riding I think a stock carb works better then the Lectron, but when I stetch it and run it at hillclimbs I like the lectron better. Ron
