125-200cc lectron or pwk 38 as carb for 125 wr 2011?

My bike always has a nice medium brown color regardless of spooge.

Do you have a line of oil running down the bottom of your silencer after a few minutes of riding? I think at this point his pipe is just full and silencer saturated but who knows. He rides under 1/2 throttle a lot.

I get this slight spooge with a newish silencer - and to me it seems to depend on oil type - my plug is a nice tan colour and thats after a good thrash

R-J, same experience for me with the Mikuni. that's what eventually drove me to the Lectron. i would get the Mikuni super nice, then weather would change and bam, i'm back to being pissed about the carburation. elevation isn't extreme either.

this summer will be the true test of the Lectron for me.

Mine was the same,and the main reason for me getting the lectron. I think I spent more time changing brass in the mikuni than actually riding!

Bingo. Oil type is everything. I used redline and silkolene some and WOW the spooge was uncontrollable. the Spectro SX is pretty clean. I use Amsoil and it is medium spooge. All that said IMHO spooge means nothing. Read your plug, wipe the spooge off after every ride and ride on. The spooge means you engine was treated to a nice slick lube.

 

[old3]

This is beyond that, like soak the packing dripping wet spooge.

I've always found the spooge discussion interesting and usually goes something like:
If there is no spooge, everything is just right, carb jetting, squish, compression etc etc.
If there is a bunch of spooge, it means nothing.

For the tigher woods riding I do I have NEVER had a bike that did not spooge.

My bike is runnng the best ever in three years and is spooging . I agree - like to see some spooge . I am running Yamalube Racing semi synthetic because its cheap - like me. Its about $17 per litre compared to $35 for Motul or Motorex
Never seen Amsoil here. I run it at 35 to 1.
And thats running pretty hard on the pipe mostly

 

[old3]

So far mine has been either all the way on WFO and clutch slipping or fully closed while braking. No spooge since I discovered the fully closed air screw (LOL). I can't see riding it in the woods any differently, it just has no guts without it being on the pipe. You guys ride these in the bottom a lot? I guess that explains the many 167 kits?

I understand and I ALWAYS expect it in slow woods.

yeah the 167 is all bottom. I am fortunate that I live in a mountainous region and I benefit by being in tall gears on steep inclines and can downshift, lean back and get the traction needed for the climb.

 

[old3]

Ha! My 125 will barely pull itself up my paved and slightly inclined driveway at low RPMs! I really have to decide where I'm headed with this bike. I don't have the faith in hitting every gear perfectly to really ride my local MX track the way I can on my 4t. 3rd gear and throttle vs. shift 4 gears and hit everything wide open and skittering up the ramps. I know the 167 doesn't have the pull up top to be any different, just I'd be shifting at half the RPMs. If it had that basement torque +the top end stretch it would be ideal at this weight. I guess that's what the 200 and 250s are for.

My suggestion is a 144 kit with slightly raised compression and race gas. Will be stinking fast, pull better off the bottom and still rev like a 125.

 

[old3]

I'm leaning towards this being my dedicated scrambles bike, and enduros if I can find a titled frame. The MX tracks here have changed too much to challenge the 250/450f bikes. At my age I'm not going to be able to get there mentally to launch a 125 60' right out of a turn, LOL! Bring the 125cc class back at the National SX/MX!!!

Our 09 had the Gorr 144 kit, still ran like a fast 125.

I have both carbs, (PWK and Lectron) I prefer the PWK

im new to this and i just got a 2013 wr 125 and the stock carb was a nightmare for me so i got a pwk 38 and put it in it idles and starts ten times better i was just wondering what you run for jets and a neddle i have a 175 main and 45 pilot in it now but the needle was already in there when i got it from my buddy.so im wondering with those jets its seems pretty good but i dont no what to start with for a needle?

I ran it on a WR300 so jetting etc, may not apply for a 125

 

[johnnyboy104]

I would never go back to a pwk or a mikuni, in 125 144 or 165 trim there is no comparison, My mate Trig runs a lectron on his 125 and constantly rambles on how fantasticly his 125 works with the 36mm lectron - was running a 39 mm Pwk
Put my 38mm lectron on a mates perfecly jetted and sorted 300 gasgas over the weekend and he could not belive how much better the thing ran - more bottom mid around the same but way way way more on top, only problem is he is selling the bike or also would be joining the lectron club.
Must add that my first experience with the lectron was NOT a good one till I got it dialed in and have never looked back since, My perfectly jetted 37mm pwk on my 144 runs like a moped compared to when I slipped a 38mm lectron on ! Totaly shrieks at the top- and is generaly better from idle upwards.

do you know who is selling lectrons i have a pwk on now and its way better id like to try a lectron if i could find one

Where are you located? Might be someone able to let you try theirs.
