Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhh I have had my Funtech 50 for nearly 2 years and it has only been running for a few months in all that time! The latest problem happened last June when the Piston Rings disintegrated whilst my daughter was driving it. . . I was just changing jobs and about to move house so it got left, and left, and left . . . Having finally replaced the piston, rings, cylinder barrel and head I realised that a 70cc conversion had previously been fitted - this has now been replaced with a…See More
Jordan replied to Jules Philo's discussion Replacing the piston on a Funtech 50"Hi,
I would check here http://www.adrenalin-pedstop.co.uk/cp-FORMULA_50_AIR_COOLED-702.aspx
You can find all sorts, including the 70cc kit or the standard 50cc piston I think.
I would NOT recommend the 70cc kit, since I changed mine upto it, it…"
Alex replied to Jules Philo's discussion Replacing the piston on a Funtech 50"ok - had a look around the forum.
The Engine is a Formula 50 air cooled italijet.
You have a few options.
If the Bore is undamaged a Piston kit will get you going.
Check the exhaust port area - that is critical on a 2 stroke.
If there is a wear…"
Alex replied to Jules Philo's discussion Replacing the piston on a Funtech 50"Hi Jules.
Sorry we won't see you at the weekend :(
To get the "clutch" apart you will need an air hammer, it's the only way.
If the engine is out take it to a Garrage - they will do it literally in a few seconds.
The belt is…"
Jaquelyn replied to Jules Philo's discussion Replacing the piston on a Funtech 50"Hi Jules,
That's such a shame - I'm so sorry. Why not come along anyway, I know you'd be welcome and there may be people there you can talk to who might help solve your problem.
I'm terribly ignorant, but I know that Podgy was…"
Jules Philo replied to Alex's discussion Interesting conundrum......"Alex,
I was going to bring the pod on a trailer as there was no way that I could drive a Funtech 50 from Portsmouth to Lincoln!!! Well, I might but it would take a week to get there!!! How about putting your Pod on a trailer (you said bikes can tow…"
Jules Philo posted a discussionReplacing the piston on a Funtech 50
Hi,2 weeks before the rally and my daughter's Funtech 50 died. I have only just found the problem. The piston rings have disintegrated, wrecking the piston and embedding themselves in the piston crown and cylinder head.Can anyone advise on the best place to get a replacement piston kit?Having dropped the engine/rear wheel assembly to make access to the cylinder easier I decided to have a look at the clutch and belt . . . The belt seems very loose but I can't see how it is adjusted. Also, I…See More

The treasure hunt drive may seem a long drive for a Qpod but treasure hunts are not fast and manoeuvrable Qpods might be ideal. I am likely to have a spare seat if someone would like to join me in my 500.
