hi could any one tell if this is an unrestricted manifold http://www.motorkit.com/catalog/SCO...-Stage-6-Minarelli-Vertical/product_info.html or where i could find one for minarelli vertical engine, ive got 21mm carb so would be nice to find one
Minarelli verticals are restricted by design... The one you linked trys to make it better by allowing the use of a larger reedblock.
Malossi do a big bore inlet manifold to accomdate a PHVB 22mm carb for around £30 Part number is 02 8479B. Its inlet is 27mm instead of 23mm for the standard fit ones so maybe it could be clamped down onto your 21mm carb for a bit of benefit. Top Performance also do a big bore in alloy for around £15ish apparently. I went for the Malossi as no online shops had the TP one listed (though i guess they could have ordered it)...its coming from Italy and should be here next week. As stated the vertical engines are restricted - 2 reed petals vs the 4 that the horizontal motors have. Not sure if it'd make much difference to 90% of machines though?
