barry singer said… - Hi Alan NO it is a 338cc sport K.ev just fitted a gearbox he said came from a 50cc q-pod that he broke for spares as it would not sell he said mine had a crack in casing, I don't know if it was damaged when belt burnt out,,or when Secma fixed it,they didn't want me to see them repair it, but when i looked in next day i saw pod hanging vertically on a chain or rope from a ceiling beam rather worrying!, they were very annoyed i had come in and seen this and ushered me outside pronto.they brought it out 1 hour later charged me400euro new belt and fitted hand start kit . Next day found it was snatchy and jerky also jumped out of gear we were now in Boulogne seeing oil under gearbox decided to let kevin sort it so towed it to him. regards Barry Singer.
