the 750 & 850 rods were the same. The stoke difference was in the position
of the crank journal and the wrist pin height on the piston. I don't know
why gauzy did it like this. You think it would have been cheaper to just
change the rods rather than the crank and pistons. Maybe they had a bunch
of rods they needed to get rid of.

Hi Andy,

I believe that the con rods for the V700 and Ambo are
interchangeable...least wise they have the same stroke (70) and only
differ in the bore (80 vs. 83). I believe that the Eldo con rods are not
interchangeable because the stroke was increased to 78 (bore remained at
83). I don't believe there are any differences in the crankshaft that
would affect the con rods. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm
mistaken. Good luck.
