Will it fit? Anyone using this set up? Will some other carb work better like a FCR?

i don't see why it wouldn't but if you need a ims most likely your a xc'r and you don't want a lectron. not enough bottom end due to no accel pump. get a 39 fcr or a edelbrock

Didn't know that......:o The other carbs are alot more expensive, huh? My motor builder did suggest the FCR as a first choice, maybe that is why.:rolleyes:

the lectrons will provide the overall most power for a bike but you will lack throttle response from no accel pump. also, the lectrons are really sensitive to dirt. so, if your in bad conditions, i wouldn't get the lectron. it is great for dragging or other conditions where not much dirt and mud will be getting to the carb.

Will an FCR fit under my IMS tank?

it should. i dont think i'v heard of anybody having trouble with the ims tank and fcr carb but i could be wrong.

the stock tank dang nears rests on top of a fcr. i don't know how the two tanks compare though.
