Re: Scooter Shootout 20-21st September

Afraid so.It's a good day out. A good turnout to support the riders would be great.

Hopefully weather tomorrow will be good.

Re: Lectron Carbs

I used one in late 80's They are an old design, very simple and therefore effective. I expect they flow well as they are popular on drag bikes and you can get really big ones (41mmm+).
