ELECTRA (X) - STAGE 1

After a lot of work on the road and dyno we have produced a performance kit which, can be fitted in stages and has been developed purely for the 500 Electra. The standard Electra develops just 17bhp at the rear wheel. The standard engine is designed to run very weak and therefore is manufactured to meet this criteria. We have tried tuning the standard CV carb, but have been unable to get satisfactory results compared to the Amal. The standard air filter box is very restrictive and whilst it will supply enough air for the standard CV carburettor it will not work with the Amal version so it is essential that the supplied S&B air filter is used.

This is the first stage of tuning, for details on the other 2 stages see below.

STAGE 1:
The 1st part of this is the carburettor kit. It comprises of a 32mm MK1 Amal Concentric Carburettor, CNC machined alloy manifold adaptor and special fixings, cables, choke lever, S&B air filter and all necessary gaskets and fixings.

The 2nd part of the kit is the exhaust pipe. The standard exhaust pipe is designed to restrict the flow to make this a lean burn engine and this restricts any potential performance gain. Our replacement exhaust pipe has no restrictions.

The 3rd part of the kit is a plug to blank off the PAV fitting on the cylinder head, again it is essential that the PAV system is removed.

This kit increases the power at the rear wheel to 23.7bhp, an increase of nearly 40% whilst retaining the standard Indian made silencer. Significantly more performance gain than similar kits available elsewhere.

There is a further small gain to be made if the silencer is replaced as well (please check out the exhaust systems in the appropriate section of this catalogue) but this is not essential at this stage.

A benefit is also to be gained by fitting a 19t gearbox sprocket.
