Quattrini cylinder too long for original cylinder cooling hood

The basic structure of the M244 cylinder is long. The Piaggio cylinder hood of the Vespa PX200 is simply too short. That and the efficient, central positioning of the spark plug make it difficult to use the original cylinder cooling hood.

With a Piaggio cylinder cooling hood, the original clearance for the spark plug can be used with our matching stopper be closed.

But the overall length is still missing so that the cylinder cooling hood can be screwed to the engine housing and the fan wheel cover.

The solution: perfectly fitting GRP cylinder hood from BSK

The cylinder cooling hood from BSK has been adapted accordingly.

The total length to the fastening points is optimized and the hole for the spark plug is in the right place.

A rigid reinforcement on the screw to the spacer nut ensures that the cylinder cooling hood can be securely and permanently fixed to the cylinder head without the GRP fabric being damaged by the screw.

The fan duct is designed so that a Modern intake manifold and a larger carburetor can easily be accommodated. Here on ours too M244 test engine with a 30mm Polini carburetor.
