Everyday advantages
With the new SMART engine housing, Pinasco is launching a modern further development for Vespa 200 engines. The big advantage: The housing enables the installation of a classic SI carburetor (24-28 mm) in combination with a high-precision reed intake - ideal for high-performance conversions without sacrificing everyday usability or original looks.
✅ Precision manufactured: The reed block consists of a CNC-milled Ergal plate that is co-coated with rubber - for perfect sealing without additional gaskets.
✅ Durable & low-maintenance: The soft rubber base prevents premature wear of the carbon reed valva .
✅ Performance-optimized: High-quality carbon blades with optimum flexibility and integrated stainless steel stopper to control the opening movement.
The Pinasco SMART motor housing was specifically developed for greater efficiency and riding comfort. The reed valva control ensures smoother power delivery even from low engine speeds, reduces fuel consumption and eliminates typical problems of rotary valve engines - such as splashing back ("recoil") into the carburetor.
✅ S uitable for SI carburettors of 24 mm, 26 mm and 28 mm: Optimized for classic Vespa carburettors - e.g. Pinasco SI 28.
✅ Innovative oil seal seat: The special Pinasco oil seal system is positively fixed between the bearing and housing by three steel tabs - for permanent tightness and a play-free fit.
✅ Reinforced bearing mount: Additional reinforcing ribs in the crankshaft area and on the auxiliary shaft axis ensure maximum stability - also ideal for high-performance setups.
✅ Factory-machined transfer ports: Separation and intake ducts already optimized - no reworking necessary.
✅ Drilled crankshaft chamber: Suitable for crankshafts with wide cheeks.
Alternator mount Ø100 mm: For crankshafts with larger lima cheeks (Quattrrini 60/126mm for M244)
✅ Die-cast housing: Higher strength and lower weight thanks to modern production - more robust than conventional gravity-cast housings.
✅ True-to-original appearance: The external shape is almost identical to the original - ideal for unobtrusive performance enhancements.
Suitable for all Vespa 200 engines with reedintake - especially for:
An uncompromisingly developed engine case for the highest demands - perfect for all those who want to combine classic Vespa technology with modern reed valve control, better response and reliable everyday usability. Support for SI carburetors from 24 mm to 28 mm opens up a wide range of tuning options - without compromising on durability, looks or performance.
