Hello everyone,
First post here but have been on the other forum for years, so am pretty familiar with MB building.
Just got into the Minarelli thing, building a vertical hybrid. Since the horizontal cylinder kits are so cheap ($39) shipped I bought
one to experiment with. From reading on other forums the Minarelli builders seem to prefer the horizontal engine as it breathes better with
the bigger reeds.
So it seems the H engine is on a 50 mm stud spacing, which I believe is the same as a YD100. One could easily make a case reed engine from one of these cylinders, a proper spacer plate, and a G2 reed assembly, and a bit of work of course. It would be a 70cc but these
engines make some pretty good HP when properly modded, so I dont think the 10cc loss of displacement is a deal breaker as the porting on the Minarelli cylinder is so superior.
Thoughts?
