Lectron pre 75 legality.

[firko]

I really don't want to turn this into another alloy swingarm debacle by entering into a debate on here but I've got reasonably good documentation to say that Lectron flatslide carburettors were available prior to 1975. I'm putting together a proposal to change the eligibility rules allow certain model Lectron's and other aftermarket flat slide carburettors such as Posa into pre 75. If anyone has any dated magazine ads, articles or brochures showing availability for any of them It'd be much appreciated if you could scan and email it to me.
                                                                                           
                                                                                           

Since the beginning of the combustion engine, man has had a natural desire to get as much power out of the wide variety of motors manufactured for work and play. For the past 37 years, William “Red” Edmonston has chosen the motorcycle as his passion for power and speed.

 Red started racing Triumph motorcycles in the 1940’s and after 13 years of racing and breaking bones, he decided to move to California and work with Triumph as a road manager as well as open a Honda dealership to provide for his young family. During the 1960’s, Red continually became frustrated with the fuel delivery systems for the motorcycle industry. Most of the carburetors being manufactured and sold on motorcycles were complex to tune, and required a constant effort to keep tuned for proper operation of the motor. This was primarily because of the multiple and overlapping circuits (different jets for the differing throttle positions) that caused the air fuel mixture to be very rich at different throttle positions. These early carburetors could not adapt for altitude changes either, which added to the constantly differing air-to-fuel ratios and tuning problems. Besides the frustrations that many had with keeping their motorcycles running at optimum, these crude fuel delivery systems also cause the motor to run very inefficiently and with significant harmful emissions.

 In the late 196o’s, after many years of racing, managing race teams, and selling motorcycles, Red began his long career of inventing, designing, and manufacturing carburetors for the motorcycle industry. In short, Red has had a significant impact on the motorcycle industry over the past 40 years. Red has held nearly 100 patents and has invented and manufactured nine different carburetors, each of which has shared some similarities while each subsequent model continually added improvements in functionality and performance. The history of the Red Edmonston’ carburetors spans many years and a great deal of experience and improvements:

 · 1968-1969: The Lake Injector prototype and final production model carburetor.
 · 1970-1971: The Pos-A-Fuel prototype and final production model carburetor.
 · 1971: The Pos-A-Fuel with remote float bowl production model carburetor.
 · 1973-1974: The Lectron prototype and final production model carburetor.
 · 1976-1977: The E.I. Prototype and final production model carburetor.
 · 1978: The Blue Magnum production model carburetor.
 · 1980: The Bank of Four Blue Magnum model carburetor.
 · 1981-1982: The Qwik Silver prototype and production model carburetor.
 · 1982: The Qwik Silver Bank of Four carburetor wins Daytona super-bike race.
 · 1993: The Qwik Silver II production model carburetor (sold to Edelbrock).

GCR 18.5.4.4 for Pre 75 and probably GCR 18.5.5.4 for Pre 78 would have to be changed also.

The rules need going through PM sent.
