1.20L
Bob, I'm going to buy a 1.20L in a couple of days with a thought toward Dieselizing it, don't laugh too hard. I would like to know the bore and stroke. Also would one of your carbs with a smaller venturi fit the 1.20L. I have about 15 Diesel conversion have never damaged an engine yet. Thanks, Dave

RE: 1.20L
Hi Dave....
Thanks for writing.
email Dub directly at [email protected] for bore/stroke information.
As for a diesel, I'm not too sure I'd proceed with that without doing some detailed checking.
This engine is very unique.
It is AAC, ceramic coated pistion, very special fit-up that is not "as" heat dependant as some ABC/AAC engines.
Also, be advised, there are some very small o-rings used on the idle needle and the carb draw-bar - you would have to ensure that those were replaced with a diesel/petrolium compatible material.
The smaller .46/.50 size carbs will fit. The carb bodies are all the same size. The 1.20 uses a 9mm carb if I recall correctly. Dub can confirm that. You can order the engine per your requirements. The only issue may be, that Dub always test-runs every engine, and has performance marks he uses for evaluation. So obviously something of a special order will perform differently.
Anyway, drop Dub a line directly, request the info, and perhaps he can give you some direct information on the diesel capabilities.
