I have a 38mm Smartcarb, that I believe was bought in 2013 or 2014. It has the updated tip over valves. I didn't like the way it made my bike run, and went back to the Kehin. I am asking $250 shipped in the United States. I'll ship international if you pay.

I found a video of exactly what my bike does. Like me, the guy in the video has made his bike idle high so it doesn't stall. The guy uses his clutch to simulate the problem, but for me it happens when riding, or even just sitting there. Sometimes if I just let it idle, after 30 seconds it will...

As kind of an update to the head mod, which put my squish at about 1.6mm, it is not a big improvement. When I put my Kehin back on, it was about 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and was about 65 yesterday. The bike is still very sensitive to temperature. It still runs better than the Smartcarb, but its...

I got my 38 mm Kehin back in today. Runs WAY better than with the Smartcarb. I'm running a 42 pilot, NECJ needle, and 180 main, although I think a 178 or 176 main would be better. Air screw at 1 1/2 turns out it runs clean until it gets on that rich main jet. A simple swap and it will be good to...

I've spent most of the day riding, and I'm convinced the compression is plenty low for 91 octane. Absolutely no knocking, not even a pipe knock when you get off the throttle. I don't think its worth it to me to take it apart again to check the compression ratio. The more I play with the smart...

Maybe I didn't find the right thread, but I see you posted something about using fork oil to measure the area at top dead center. I don't see any real detail, but it seems you found TDC, then poured oil in the spark plug hole, possibly with a syringe or measuring cup, and filled until the second...

Well I finally got my head cut. I called the most local shop I could, Bill Bune in Minnesota. I talked for a bit, and they seemed knowledgeable. They actually wanted the piston as well so they could change the squish angle to 2 degrees from the piston dome angle. They recommended .040" squish...

I don't see anything about setting slide height not in the book or online. The only thing I see to adjust it is the idle screw. Your throttle loosened, lowering the slide? Why would the throttle cable be propping it up at all?

I'm fairly certain it's not the silencer. Mine doesn't even have a full season on it. I guess its possible my pipe is filed with oil, but I never had any flooding problems, and I bought my pipe brand new along with my silencer last summer. I had the same idle problem even when the exhaust was...

It's not brand new, but rebuilt. From the paperwork, it looks to have been new in 2014, but was recently sent in for updates. I think it was the check valves for tip over. Everything in the carb is new, and the float height I think is at 23mm. I will have to check again, but I did set it. It is...

I just bought and installed a 38 mm smart carb on my 2006 EC300. I have been fiddling with it, and I have to say I am not all that impressed. I hate jetting with a passion, so I was hoping this would solve that. While it runs fantastic mid to top, say above 3500 rpm, down low I can't quite get...

I don't want to go pulling it apart again now as I have a race saturday. How can I tell which stator I have? I must have the small one since my headlight is rated at 70w. Whether or not that is with just the big bulb or both bulbs I don't know. Straight form Trailtech, "high mode" 70w, "low...

I have a 2006 Gasgas EC 300 and have two issues. One is the headlight. A while back I got a trail tech x2 but could never get it to work. I traded emails and phone calls until they just stopped responding. Trail tech just couldn't figure out why I had voltage at the bulb, but it wouldn't work...
