I am getting my quad ready to be tuned our speed shop out here uses an o2 sensor on there computer dyno to tune I have a basically stock engine very fresh running FMF exhaust and have 34 and a 38 mm carb would the spacer make much difference the tuner is going to do air box mods and possibly port the cylinder

All depends what you are doing for your build,. Im not 100 percent but i think thinner is for low and the thick if for mid to top end. This is from Esr link,

I'm trying not to spend a lot more money on this quad which carb should I use my tuner says it doesn't matter because he will set with the o2 sensor the 34 fits better and cable seems to fit better in the quad any opinions

I would use the 38 MM carb, even on a stock cylinder it will run better than the 34 MM. As far as the reed spacer plate goes, you won't see much if anything on the Dyno with reed sacer plates 3/8" or under. Reed spacer plates are used more to improve 'fitment' from the carb to the intake box boot, and to help save reed pedals.

38 MM carb is best option for and I too have seen my friend using the same, I will post the image if I remember while meeting him.

If you have the coin I would Invest in a smartcarb they are pretty steep price wise but the fact that you dont have to mess around with jetting is worth every penny IMO

Hold off on the Smart Carb.....the product is new, and has had very little testing to date. From what I hear and see it has potential, however, I also hear mixed reviews....the jury is still out on the Smart Carb IMO.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of bad or questionable reviews have you heard about it?

Check out ktmtalk.com scroll down to jetting some of these guys have been using these carbs for up to a 1 year now. if you read into some off the past posts you can see the ups and downs. At this point the smart carb is ready and is out there.

Just a lot of unknowns, not enough positive info yet available for the 250R as most are just receiving the carbs. The negative I have heard and seen has been on engines in the BB category, that is 330CC and above. Seems the Smart carb has issues feeding the requiered amount of fuel to keep these BB engines from going lean. The Smart carb folks are aware as they have been sending different needles, and options to deal with the BB iissues....

Again this is very limited information to date, that is why I recommend waiting till more info is posted or available.
