Casper this is 1 of the incidents not naming the person but in his own words.   

" Beautiful evening, not rushing, and everything set up perfectly with engine warmed up. Picked up the throttle to give a gentle run-up, and next thing I know there's a loud bang followed by a minced hand. Must have inadvertently squeezed the throttle without a firm grip on the frame. I have no recollection of the sequence, so this is speculation. With hindsight, perhaps run-ups should only be done with the unit on your back, but I've always seen it done from behind and went for the easy option."

And the outcome is " Index finger removed by surgeon, middle finger and thumb reconstructed." and he agree's he was lucky as could of been a lot worse !! 

we all like to think we are invincible until something happens but its like the old saying "shutting the gate after the horse has bolted" most accidents are avoidable with just common sense but some are not directly our fault.

Bob this might be worth a try or go to your local lawn mower man and see if he can get something similar

Bob not only can you look for solo 210 but the engine turned into the Hirth F-36 so look up that aswell.

Just a thought but must be a Lawnmower coil same configuration but you'd have to trawl images or ebay.

Bob send Dariuszk24 a message as i know he was able to get parts from Poland and who knows might be able to  help 

Oops forgot looking at picture with the spare pipe it looks like to me the left over cases and sleeves from an HT lead.

Thanks, any idea where it would be connected?

No, to the prime carb you just press gently in the bottom of the metal plate on carb where the hole is while pressing plastic fuel prime bulb

Only thing with Walbro you to set the pop off pressure.

So further down the road we can now say you have a Solo engine'd paramotor but Bob if post a picture we might be able to confirm which frame or make of Paramotor it is 

check your emails Bob  hopefully sent it all.

And yes Hi and Welcome stay a while and enjoy, there's a mixed bunch including the Nutters but most are very helpful 

Oops just replied about this on your other post, as for manual yes i do have 1 if you message your addy i'll photocopy it all and send you a copy if that helps 

Bob the starters will handle extra power as its only in short bursts, i have not flown mine since fitting a 18.5v lipo battery but it does wizz over a lot quicker, i have fuel line problems so air is entering the carb, my only concern which i will address is in flight charging on the lipo battery, possibly fit a switch to stop this from happening as they need different chargers.

I did notice my starter body got a little warm when it didn't start but it normally starts fairly quickly, so hopefully back to this when fuel problems are sorted.

Also gel battery weight 1.2kg and lipo battery .2kg so big difference.

Can i ask who did you order coil of ? and how much please ? thanks Kiwi.

If any of you read the actual properties from the actual oil makers you would get a shock, Just because it has a recognized makers name does not make it 100% better or different from the not so well known brands.

Is yours damaged or just missing ?

Or just talk Bollox about any subject

I ended up changing from zip ties to safety wire (about 0.6-0.7mm). The fuel line connection at the carb didn't have anything from factory (zip ties,etc). I did a quick test and the engine fired even without priming now, and no stalling when I gave full throttle. Will do a more thorough test when the weather is better. 

just my opinion but if you haven't you might want to bend wire in and wrap it with insulation tape so no exposed sharp edges  

Well Shaggy you been to see Si and Col yet  we are waiting on your updates 

Wayne sorry but this under safety matters already posted as   Airprox (Paramotor V military A400)

Not having knowingly flown over bird sanctuaries or like protected areas, my concern would be if flying over birds then possibly they might get frightened and scared, which means they'll scatter in-turn flying upwards and or in any direction, and are more likely to accidentally fly into me or my equipment and that's Not good and possibly end in someone or something getting damaged.

Or is this just me over thinking the situation .

YES comments welcome 

i'm just a pauper  so never owned either machines and can not comment so was merely putting up a possible option 

Steve there's a Bulldog moster silent up for sale on "UK Secondhand Paramotor Kit for sale". group on facebook.

Its a 10 from Len (Sorry wrong forum)

YES.

Best spray on liquid is ACF50 used in the Aircraft industry for years not as cheap as WD40 but works a lot better IMO 

Steve Tag paramotors had a Parajet with wing set-up for sale but very reasonably priced so doubt it will be there long.
