What Ever Happened to Mintor Engines?
The title is self explanatory. About a year or so ago Mintor was making some real nice looking 100cc prototypes, and looking towards a 150cc engine.
Where did they go? |

Re: What Ever Happened to Mintor Engines?
It was a start but I'm wondering if they are still making engines.

Re: What Ever Happened to Mintor Engines?
Oh yes, for what I know they still making (very good) engines,
They have recently update the 75 and 110 twin with new carburator and I think they are developing a 220 4 cyl. |

Re: What Ever Happened to Mintor Engines?
I exchanged e-mails with Mr. Magni this morning. For those that have one of the earlier Mintor 110's, he would like you to contact him about upgrading the carb. They've made an improvement in this area and they would like to upgrade all of the pre-existing engines. There's about 10 unaccounted for in the U.S.

Re: What Ever Happened to Mintor Engines?
I contacted Claudio today and he promptly got back to me. Asked that I send my engine and exhaust back to get completely upgraded.

Re: What Ever Happened to Mintor Engines?
Don't have the cost or the weight at the moment. I'm not very concerned about either, but the price will likely be high due to our trashed dollar and economy.

Re: What Ever Happened to Mintor Engines?
Wow....thats alot lighter than I figured it would be by the way it looks. Might be worth a try if you can get it into the US at a reasonable cost.

Re: What Ever Happened to Mintor Engines?
So the weight difference is negligible.
