Aluminum touring cylinder 177cc for 2-channel Vespa models

Pinasco's 177cc aluminum cylinder kits are a great way to give a standard 125/150cc engine a little more vitality. The well-made cylinders are designed for absolute reliability and shine with a broadband power output. Due to the excellent cooling properties of the aluminum, the 177 Pinasco can also be used with the original 20 mm Si carburetor without any problems. For a better power output, however, a 24 mm carburetor should also be fitted here.

Pinasco always uses the 3-channel cylinder as the base cylinder for the aluminum versions of its popular 177cc touring kits. On the 2-channel versions, however, this is turned down at the base by the thickness of an enclosed spacer. The spacer covers the third overflow channel, which is no longer filled via the engine housing, but through a cut-out in the upper piston skirt.

An extension of the gear ratio is interesting if the engine is to be driven frequently on the freeway or at low revs.

Pinasco's jetting suggestion is specified with a 108 mm main jet for the 20 mm SI carburettor and a 118 mm main jet for the 24 mm SI carburettor. The Pinasco can almost always be run with the lean combination of 190 main air correction jet and BE 4 mixing tube.

The V2.0 version offers no technical innovations, but Pinasco has changed the foundry and the piston of the 2-channel version (which has a milling for the support channel) is now also used in the 3-channel version

(US).
