First off, I paid full price for this carb. I haven’t been riding the Beta for several weeks since we were waiting for the SC2 Smart carb to show up. For this bike, I decided to go with the 36mm SC2 since I wanted the best low end performance on the 300cc two stroke. Testing this carburetor has been a long time coming and I’m excited to test out a carb that can be adjusted externally without any tools.
Installation of the carb was very straight forward, which I’ll cover in detail in a future video. Once I got the bike up to the riding location at about 8400 feet, it seemed like it was running a little “fat” or “rich”. Essentially I felt like it was getting a little bit too much fuel. On other carbs, that would mean taking apart to either install different components (traditional carb), or turning the metering rod (Lectron). Since this is a newer design, those adjustments can be made without any tools by simply opening the throttle wide open (engine off) and then pushing down on the brass screw on the top of the throttle body, then turning left for leaner, or right for richer. That is all there is to this baby.
So with a few clicks to the left to make the carb leaner, she cleaned up and we had a lot of fun. Much more to follow as my testing continues over the next few weeks.

I love my 36mm SC2. So easy to adjust and install. The customer support is stellar!
Improved fuel economy??
@@ollie6512 Yes
Love that you are making the bikes PERFECT for us !!! Just over 2 weeks to go before some lucky people get to win them !!! Fingers and toes crossed hoping that I may be one of those lucky people !!
Nice stuff as always !!!

Smart carb is the first upgrade I wouldve done. Now I really want to win it
That bike sure has grown up. Proves how good mods are everything. Good job 👏
Yes the Smartcarb. Cheaper and lighter than going for fuel injection, and easy to tune (efi flashing gets pricey).
That Beta sounds great! Bad ass looking bike too.
I have a Lectron on my '18 KTM 300 XC, as delivered it was rich - it was able to start it cold without the choke, a good indicator of too rich jetting. I leaned it some, now it briefly needs the (very strong on the Lectron) choke for the first start of the day, then it runs a touch lean until the water temp hits about 80F (this takes less than a minute), then you can literally hear it come in and it is crispy critter dead on perfect after that. Have ridden in 90F weather at 4,200 feet to cool weather at 12K in Pitkin CO and never touched the carb, it truly is set it and forget it. The metering rod carbs are so simple. No pilot jet to clog, adaptive to elevation. They just flat out work. I am sold!
The bike as an S3 head on it with the mildly higher compression insert and V4 reeds, it has very strong low end, crisp mid and top end out the wazoo. I can't imagine more perfect off road trail power. A good running 300 is an awesome thing.
So on a scale of 1 to 10 where would you rate the lectron and where would you rate the mikuni tmx? I ask bc the lectron is 500+ and u can grab a used 38mm TMX for 100 on ebay and they are pretty darn good once you spend an afternoon dialing it in.
@@jesseison-bowman3964
The original carb will probably be as good as the Lectron if both are set properly. But the Lectron will have an advantage if you change your elevation significantly or if you live in an area where the temperature changes a lot.
I absolutely love that bike
I have the same 36 mm carb on my 2018 300xc and had the same experience as Kyle. i can ride from Texas to Colorado w/ just a simple turn of a knob on the trail - no tools needed - even stayed on the bike while making a 5 second adjustment. Great fuel mileage and low spooge. Worth the investment. I have not yet made the switch to TPI yet so for now this is an excellent option if your riding at multiple elevations and don't want to rejet.
I would much rather deal with the SC than TPI any day.
@@Pint76
I have a 2014 Husqvarna and thinking should I spend the money on SC2 or buy a TPI. A lot of people say they run super smooth.
One parameter for choosing carb size was flow (old magazine article). An aftermarket carb might flow more than the original, so stepping down a size would keep the flow rate, but signal response might be better for certain circuits.
Great job enjoying the ride and narrating. And great review on the carb. Thank you
I keep hearing good things about those smart carbs, thinking about one for my TE250
Glad to see the Smart Carb back in the game as they went away for a long while. I just wonder what happened with APT which was the original company. Now being produced by Technology Elevated.
That smart carb makes it crispy
cool to see you review a smart carb !
That trail looks so dang fun. Your videos made me go buy a dirt bike. And now I just gotta get out on some stuff like this
Super nice trail. Love the scenery.
You seem to have a lot of fun with things that would tire me out like getting over logs
Absolutely love this bike .would love to own one ,one day .
Awesome riding! Wish I could ride places like that for my videos.
Man that is a beautiful bike!
Make sure to read the description because he's giving away 3 bikes and you can win one.
36mm on my 125x best upgrade to any 2stroke.
Good log jump he all ways finds the cool trails to ride
That smart carb is expensive but t does the magic
Ordered mine for my 2020 Beta 300. Except I’m going with the 38mm.
Dude, you have tried the lectron and smart carb. But have you tried the PWK with the STIC metering block and JD jetting kit? Please man, do a video on that
How does it compare to the Lechtron
Way better!
Refined concept. Way better. I have a 36mm on my 125x and its insane
Just entered the Sweepstakes! 🙏🏾🤞🏾 Love your channel btw, been looking into getting a dirtbike, so now would be a perfect time to win hopefully! Keep up the great content!
This looks like the kind of terrain where you come round a corner and there’s a bear, you got bears in this area?
I don't know exactly where Kyle is but we came across a bear in Tibble fork canyon a couple of years ago. That was the first bear I had seen in Utah.
Yes lots of bears
Great video 👍. You should really try a yz125, you would love how they feel
Great ride and demo! It’s funny, how many hours and years of riding we can have and still hit neutral every once in a while 😆.
However, dad is nearly 70 and I’ve never seen him do it. 🤷♂️ Maybe there’s a “10,000” hours threshold on hitting neutral or something haha
WOW what a freaking trail! Yeh baby.
Need an update video with Lectron Pro
I'm curious to see if their fuel economy claims are true. My 2020 beta 300 guzzles gas even after jetting properly, wont be able to make a 2 hour harescramble as is. And I'd probably look at one of these before an over sized tank if it increases fuel econ enough.
This looks like the trail that rocky mountain did their cr250r build video
Good enduro bike sounds nice
I have some that same thing before in neutral. Nice riding. Off topic. I wonder how an Rekluse would work on this bike. Doesn’t seem like it needs it though.
Would work like on any other bike?
I have a 300rr and a kx450. I don't think about a rekluse on the 300 on tight nasty trails. When on my kx450 I dream of having a rekluse.
Have you thought about grabbing a chainsaw for trails like this? At some point there are just too many logs to even consider just using a hand saw to clear.
I’m curious of the gear you were in going up some of those hills
I have this bike and it's really torquey and off the bottom too! I hit trails on it in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears with plenty of torque on tap when needed. 4th is usually going a little faster for my trails than I generally care to go but it can chug. My KX450 doesn't need to leave 1st gear. When I first rode it my 300rr I was shocked at how much you moved for how low the revs were. You can easily lift the front end without being on the pipe.
Would love to see a thought on a) how to train kids to ride (i noticed your kids ride, as do mine) and b) kids/womens bikes. My kids have gone from KLX110 to KLX140L and i love the 110, but there's really nothing good between that bike and a 250.
Definitely that 36mm is for more of a technical riding, not much of a top end use. Crispy though
Thanks
Doing this to my 2021 300rr
Great video, which is better Electron or Smart carb ?
The Proton is the more positive choice!
Trying to buy tires through your links but they are unavailable 😕
But Kyle, is it better than the stock carb?
You supposed to wait one hour or two hours riding before adjusting it what they say
I never got the chance to ride on Betta
How proven a product is the smart carb so far though. Kyle?
Awesome !
Really considering getting a Smartcarb for my 18 250xc. I have the jd jetting kit and its not quite running how I want it to on the low end.
Give us a ring or shoot us an email, happy to answer any questions you may have. Our baselines for the KTMs are rock solid and we pre-tune every carb specific for the bike it's ordered for.
1:16 almost broke your neck 🙈
I saw that too
@@dakota1316 😂😂😂
Get a Kehien pwk and a STIC. You won't regret it
What's best Lectron or smart carb??
my 250 ec (38pwk)turn with 30 phbh delorto ,verry intrusting result ,now i try with 28pwk?🐢
maybe sc2 in beta rr 300 2022 without tps sensor?
Brap brap! I'd look really great on that Beta. Draw a lady this time!!!
Is this like the jackpot on a fishing trip where only a few women go and end up winning every time.🤔
Did you put the oil injection back on after the lectron.
Race edition doesn't have oil injection
Awesome work on the Beta she is running great👍😎 and nice single trail dream about trails like that🤥
Where is that 📚
Who are the morons that put thumbs down on these videos? WTH is wrong with a guy riding his bike and telling people about an upgrade he made? Just makes no sense to me! Anyway, I wish I had such a gorgeous place to ride!!
36?
oof, hitting nuetral at the wrong time is the worst
Getting into some twilight zone stuff here.
I'm sorry but that carb sounds horrible. It needs more tuning. I'm still happy with a good old Keihin. Of course I do see an advantage with large elevation changes.
Haha same I’m running a mikuni no issues
Can you please elaborate?
i hope i win that would be the best birthday present ever actually the best gift i would ever receive sense itz my birthday a little bit after june 15th
Why bother when you got efi systems
Not for 2 strokes
dont be beating the hell out of my bike im not gonna win lol even though im ordering a shirt wanted the stickers but your out of the good ones
I love that Bike 👍👍👍
how do we win this bike?
Darcy Button Films buy stuff from his store or just check on the older videos he tells you

What fuel ratio do u recommend for a ktm sx 125 2003? I’m at 32:1 and still getting sploodge out my silencer...
32 to 1 is a race bike ratio ie your sx. If your trail riding you could try leaning out. Go in increments try 40 to 1 an adjust from there.
32:1 is good for a 125. If you do try 40:1 (not the end of the world) remember that you will be running a richer air fuel ratio and might have to lean your jetting. Spooge will be more of a product of bad jetting rather than oil ratio. Search up Spanks jetting guide to get yourself dialed in. Lots of people run 32:1 in 300s with little to no spooge
32:1 is good. Jetting causes the sooge. Download a jetting app they work great
Please send the bike back to Europe 😀
I hope I will win a bike
