  1. Good day sir,   I was directed to you by Simon .

    I have a couple of questions regarding an Adventure F3 paramotor and was 

    told that you might be able to give some advice.   The machine I just bought

    came with no electric starter and I am thinking it would be next to impossible

    to be able to start on my back using the pull starter.   Unless I would have 

    assistance every time.   I am wondering if it were worthwhile to buy the parts

    necessary to install the electric starter?   I've read that the solo 210 is dependable,

    but underpowered, so I am not keen to add any extra weight if I don't have to.

     

      I did find a supplier online that has

    the starter ring, mounting bracket and other odds and ends.  

    But I am wondering what else I would need?   Wiring, switch, electric relay, battery, starter motor?

    The throttle handle doesn't seem to have any switches on it, so I may have to buy 

    the whole throttle handle as well.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

      hi dude i dont know how much ill be able to help. The adventure i have is the A3 which had the e-start factory fitted. On the throttle it has a start and stop button so you prob have to sort something out with that. A 12v battery pack and some where to stow it mine is in a space behind the harness under a cover  plate. I made a new pack for mine  from 6 cyclon 2v 2.5ah D cell battery wired to give you 12v out. definitely need a relay as well. My machine also has a charging circuit which yours may not have had fitted as it is the manual version. Might be worth a look at Adventures web site it should still have the workshop manual avaliable. I would give it a try as is, making sure that the decompression hole is clear. You need to take the head ff to check it i think its 2mm hole and i use a 2mm drill bit to make sure its not blocked.  Sorry its not very usefull stuff but if you have any more questions dont hesitate to drop me a note and ill do what i can.

      Cheers col......

    Battery

    hi mathius they are made up from 6 cyclon 2v 2.5ah D cell battery wired to give you 12v out . Hot glue together so they form like a log pile 2 logs long and heatshrink it into a pack
  5. I wanted to just say hi, (logged in as little Col to test posting out) IT WORKS!!!! PS I am called little Col as I have a very very tiny toe nail... honestly! ...........................I can edit your post..........but still have no "green boxes" to press for adding anything of my own.
  6. Oh also got assorted mangled aluminium that used to be cage sections and may have useful bits.
  7. Hi guys sorry about the delay getting back to you. What I have is a complete Adventure A3 Paramotor and with possibly a carb service I expect it to start and run sweet. I have a complete spare cage and spare prop I also have a new harness for it I would expect the one on it to be a bit mouldy but poss recoverable. I wouldn't be interested in splitting it but would sell as a going concern with spares for the right money. Let me know if there's an interest obviously you get first shout Ben.. cheers Col.
  8. Hi, sounds like a blocked jet. Give the carb a service should sort your problem.. cheers col...
  9. The Hirth f-36 motor is the same motor from what I can gather as the solo210 and it's still current.
  10. Hi depends on the size of the hole it has to fit into. Adventure for example had a battery pack shaped to fit the recess in the fibreglass body. Generally 12-14volts highest ah that will fit and if it is recharged in flight then No lipo's or other type that requires special chargers. I've seen everything from a power tool power pack strapped on with cable ties to tiny lipo's,s in a very neat steel electrics compartment but with no in flight charging.
  11. Have you had a look as this thread. Might be of help.
  12. Think the standard engine (shoebox exhaust) used the 32 and the tuned version ( proper expansion chamber and larger head ) used the 37. Might be wrong but that's what I seem to remember.
  13. Might be worth actually giving them a call if you have a contact number. The other manufacturers that used a solo210 I can think of is adventure, early nirvana, fresh breeze (different carb), pap and I think H&E. So might be worth dropping them an e mail. There was also an American dealer that done a load of spares and upgrades for that motor but can't remember the name think it starts with an M but I'm guessing. Well worth a look around somewhere there is a PDFs manual and exploded drawings also wiring diagram. Used to have them but must have deleted when I changed motor.. Hope that's some help.. Cheers Col.. Mojo's gear I think it is
