[QUOTE=Roelof;15416321 The offset carb is a solution to get the intake hole of the crankshaft in line with the crankpin which should give more balance in the crankshaft. [/QUOTE]

Not really. Wrong assumption. Offset carb was done to have better line up intake pass, balancing I can solve much easier.
Unfortunately I quite this beautiful hobby, I was in since 1975 till 2007. Now for 12 years I have different hobby.

Saw your original post. My point was that Edward invented this almost 20 years ago and Novarossi ripped it off. Maybe they didn't know, it's just interesting that they successfully filed a patent for something that was already on the market. Edward doesn't know who I am but I met him and his son at the Winternats around 2001/2002 and knew that everything he came up with was 100% original and new.

Hm, I really do not know who you are. I guess we met at Winternats in 2004. My first show up, I came with PR12 engine, which had offset carb and sleeve with integrated intake ports and cooling fins, sort like it is done on real motorcycles 2 cycles engines. Next year I brought PS12 with Bi-metal sleeve, that year Tosolini was running my engine and he got second place. Than I joined Axial Racing and year later moved to different field.
Now my hobby is firearms. :D
