[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.

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.
