Default RE: BME 102 or 102 EVO?

How can you tell if you have the 3 bearing crank or not?
Does the back plate look different?


ORIGINAL: bodymann

ORIGINAL: Tim_Indy

The 102 has a spacer plate between the bottom of each cylinder and the crankcase, to accomodate the increased stroke crankshaft that took the original 5.8 cubic inch BME out to 6.2 cu. in. (102 cc). BME later updated the crankcase (the EVO) that, among other things, eliminated the need for the spacer plates, and also accomodated a new twin petal higher flowing reed assembly, which added a bit more power.

Hi Tim also does'nt the newer 102 EVO have a 3 bearing crank.......Like the one i purchased from you.
