  • Just wondering what the vibrations levels are with the offset crankpins ?

  • @VHZMH Because each crank is 180 degrees opposed, each crank including crank pins cancels out any vibration.

  • I am currently fitting a single reed valve to the crankcase instead of two inlet ports.

  • Thanks for your question. There isn't a "How to" manual on building one of these, but i intend posting some more videos soon outlining a bit more info on how it goes together.

  • Thanx for your comment.I'm glad you are aware that Victa produced there own twin cylinder version. I have three of them , but they don't produce anywhere near the HP that my 320 cc twin does :-)

  • No I didn;t have to machine the existing crank case halves . The only machining was done on the center adapting block.

  • sounds like a mini snowmobile lol

  • OK...U da man... I want to rid my 67 model 2 cyl., 20 HP, Merc OBM of points and fit it with electronic ignition. Ideas?

  • ur now double fast lawn mowing? Be honest :)

  • I smell bad and I'm very uncomfortable in social situations. Great video!

  • Thanks. I understand that, but there would be a 'rocking couple' because of the offset between the rod centrelines. I guess it is not revving very high so not an issue. Pity Victa stopped making its twin.

  • this is awsome but is there a way to get the config so that the two cylanders are in more of a V shape, i plan on mounting this in a bike if i can + reinforcements obviosley
