Lectron HD Carb Install on Harley EVO Big Twin

Are you looking to install a Lectron HD carburetor on your Harley? In this video, I'll show you the process and I install one on my EVO Big Twin (Softail) for the first time. I'll give you the overview of the whole install process from what tools you'll need, how to connect the new carb and more.

I'll also show you the main 3 adjustments on the Lectron HD series carb.
-Fuel Mix Screw
-Power Jet Screw
-Idle Speed Screw

These carburetors are marketed as being plug and play, simply tell them what bike it's going on, pop it onto your bike and go. Will my install be that seamless? Tune in to find out.

Honestly it’s refreshing to hear when a small business refuses to give free stuff to influencers.

Ive been running the 48mm lectron on my fxr with an s&s 124 for about 4 years. Took Kevin a few trys at finding a good grind on the metering rod to get dialed in for a big motor but after a few it was ok. I run an air fuel meter so i was able to fine tune on the road. Dont have to touch it much. The idle circuit is the best ive ever heard. I have a few videos on my youtube if you want to hear it

[lillynips]

You got my thumbs up for enunciating intents and purposes so well lol

[garyhopkins]

I saw a vid from Shade Tree where he installed a brand new Lectron on his HD and it worked a treat. These carbs seem to be old teck but like an old amal or Mikuni you do have a lot of adjustment with needles and slides, it just takes a bit of stuffing around like carbs sometimes do.

I've been wanting to convert my 2003 twin cam 88 to carb. I like the way this sets up and works.

I'm glad i watched this, I'm OCD and that fuel line would have driven me nuts. I just found a bunch of 90 degree fuel line bits that you just measure your tube, cut and bond. You can really tuck that fuel line up and away nice and pretty.

Gotta love the custom made VOES vacuum line plug!

You had mentioned once in a previous video that I commented on to hit you with any topics we'd like to see covered. Personally, I'd love to see a breakdown of the VOES system: how exactly it works, how to tune it, how to remove it, etc. Another topic I think would be fascinating is the modifications required to convert an EVO motor to a kicker system.

Good stuff thanks! I wouldn't mind seeing a video on rebuilding a CV carb

[Scorcher]

Great video! Grateful for the next day phase glad to know on mechanics of things there are others out there who struggle 😂

[SaddleTrampTV]

Thanks for posting this. Now I know not to get one of those. By the way... That chain alignment tool video was very helpful. I bought one and wow... I thought I was good on my adjustment already until I used the tool to take a look. All good now.

Mine works excellent on my rebuild shovel, bought it straight from lectron.

Having just made some changes on mine and having to disassemble the carb every time it doesnt do what i expected it to on a certain jet combo, this sounds like a dream. But hearing that one idle like that doesnt sound quite like a dream. Looking forward to part 2 where you wake me up or put a lectron on my wishlist.

Following because I'm also working with a Lectron HD 400 right now and there is nothing out there about these in depth, aside from a handful of old videos from Lectron.

Mine was pouring gas, also thought it was a stuck float... took the bowl off, and it was fine. They recommend spraying WD-40 in the fuel inlet directly, followed by low PSI compressed air through the fuel line (plugged back into the inlet) to clean the fuel intake portion. Mine has stopped dumping gas since, but I'm waiting on the meter rod tool in the mail still to dive into the fine tuning

Great job explaining the installation. I think I will stick with my stock carb as it works great. Not impressed with this new carb.

[sarron]

Sounds like the Super E is the best option to me

[Lanesplitter]

Would be nice to see a SU or Mikuni HSR42 set-up - both reputedly kick-friendly carbs

[cycleshop]

if you are having high idle and turning the ISS in all the way with no change, chances are that you're running on the metering rod and not on the idle circuit. There is a factory spec for the length of the metering rod that might need to be reset for your specific bike.

How did you get on with part 2 great video, I’ve got a standard 97 fatboy, love it. Have been looking at S&S cost a few $ here in New Zealand, I like your engine breather filters, nice and clean, do you have a link for them, plus your bike looks mint, I’ve got a hard tail frame, I’ve got to get onto, great inspiration, can’t wait to see more of your clips

[chipmartin]

Can't wait to see part 2. I've been considering one of these but the jury's still out until I can get some more information. Like you said, there's not a whole lot of reviews out there. BTW, that's a really cool jacket you have on, is it an Aero? You make very helpful and informative videos; keep 'em coming!

[robertvilliard]

Does it have a drain screw on the bowl.
