Ok, this is a 'well you never know' job!! :D

I blew one of my kart engines up at the weekend ... I need a new piston for it ... I have done my best google-fu, but evidently only a Brown belt in it ...

Any gogogle-fu Black-belters able to find me a place that lists a 49.5mm rotary valve kart piston plz :)

Looks like KH-100 and a MBX80 bikes have a 49.5mm piston as standard ... but the chances of the gudgeon pin and piston height being the same is highly unlikely!! ... so Kart pistons only ...

May the force be with you ... wax-on ... wax-off ... n all that!! :notworthy:

Just find Mr T, he'll forge you one out of kitchen utensils

Thanks for the replies, I have looked at all the links and unfortunately NONE are suitable.

I’d prefer one that wasn’t America based, but they are not the correct sizes anyway. Also Rotax Max is a completely different breed.

Keywords that might help are

Parilla, Italian (Its an Italian engine), DAP (The P in DAP stands for Parilla, Parilla re-badged and called themselves DAP, but the pistons should be interchangeable), 49.5mm, 49.50mm, Rotary valve, 100cc, aircooled. TT27 (the model number of my Parilla engine).
