The Linto was not cheap. Nothing hand made in Italy is...Yes, a double up of 250 macchi singles but not done any easy way. With the cam(s) driven off a layshaft their direction of rotation was reversed as compared to the singles. If the factory could have grouind a symmetrical profile as they are supposed to be it wouldn't have been a problem...As you may gather, i've seen a few macchi cams.....Added to that a tendency for the end to break off the layshaft in the primary drive and you really have to know what you're doing to run one.
I have seen a pic of what is undoubtedly a Linto frame with a Rotax snowmobile motor installed...Now that should have been good.
