I had a Simo with three blade prop and the only way it would start would be primed and then turn over it would fire a couple of time then I would add the smallest amount of throttle and it would start.  

I sometimes would take the spark plug out and prime and turn the engine over replace the plug and that would help start if it had been stored for any length of time 

Prime hold kill button press starter button get it turning over then Let the sto button go

@pete_b  will have a 2 blade you can try if you ask him nicely  

Crap that your still having issues with it mate  I am sure it's Solvable though.

Prop should not make any noticeable difference  between 2 or 3 blade

not sure about flyproducts kit but the simonini engine is a good reliable powerful engine have one for tandem flying never had any problems with any simonini engine

I fly an Apco Lift EZ medum 27.5M (100 - 165kg) and am right in the middle at my weight.

I deffo don`t want to fly slower..

As i mentioned above, if i could get the engine speed down to 5500`ish the flights would be a lot quieter, calmer and more relaxed, the engine tends to `shout` at 6000+.

This is only fine-tuning my flying, if nothing can be done then so be it, i`m happy with my set-up overall.

If you alter the prop pitch you will overload the engine as in driving uphill in top gear

For what you want to do providing you have the correct to fitted now is to change the drive ratio

clean plug or use new start run up to temp hold flat out and press kill button keeping throttle wide open remove plug and check colour

light brown lean

I am off to Arizona for a week of flying Paramotors in Monument Valley at the end of Feb. :-)

I will be taking a Zenith with me and a wing. I am meeting with a friend who lives out there.

Assuming that the trip is as drama free as it can be, it would be interesting to know how many of you would be interested in a similar trip.??

We will both be taking loads of video of course!!!

We fly alot slower so nav is easier as you have more time to do it.

Peoples republic of barn owls did it.

Merry Xmas to one and all.

2 blade needs a different pulley as it needs to turn faster.
