Afternoon all, i am looking for advice regarding the training and progression up to paramotoring. Ultimately, I want to fly paramotors but was considering taking up paragliding first. What are people's thoughts on this? Would you just go straight to paramotor? if I were to paraglide first could I purchase a wing that I could eventually use for paramotoring? Any recommendations? For me, paragliding is considerably cheaper in the short term however, I understand the limitations regarding suitable sites that I would be able to launch from. On the other hand paramotoring is more flexible in terms of launching and getting as much air time as possible. Would anybody recommend a good, cost effective paramotor setup for a beginner? Thanks

Agreed!

Hi hanks for the reply, yes I must get a pop off pressure tester for my engine as I most definitely do not want to wreck my engine. Do you have any recommendation as to where I could get a tester?

Hi thanks for information - I have had the carb apart for general servicing i.e. Gaskets etc. It seems to be running well - I have the high jet open about 1 1/4 turns and the same for the other jet / throttle plate - it does however seem to when I have started the engine and apply throttle it cuts out sometimes is this maybe because the mixture is too lean and I need to open the high jet slightly?

Hi everyone, i have a PAP ROS 125 and I need some help setting the jets on a Walbro WG-8 carburettor? Could anybody tell me how much the jets should be opened from fully closed? Thanks, Marcus

Thanks again for the responses

Thanks for everybody's input I have contacted Opie Ools today who have been very helpful and have several options for me to try. I have been lookin at the ROS engine manual who recommend using 140 SAE, however, when looking in the PAP manual it recommends using 75W-90 oil. Having looked it appears that SAE 140 is a mineral oil and the 75w-90 is a synthetic oil. I could also get a 75w-140 fully synthetic oil. Could anybody suggest which oil might give the best performance and efficiency? Thanks, mjmac

Hi everyone, i am looking for some advice on gear oil. I am doing a complete oil change on my ROS 125 reduction gear - the manual for this engine suggests that I use SAE 140 gear oil and I cannot find this anywhere in the U.K. Could anybody advise? thanks in advance, Marcus

Im struggling to find a rubber to match what I have - I may have to try a K&N. Having looked at the rubber between carb and airbox - the rubber seem to go inside the airbox quite far and this is the reason I am having trouble finding something that closely matches the rubber profile? Any suggestions?

Thanks for the responses - I will look at both options!

Hi Everybody, The rubber between the Airbox and Carb on my ROS 125 have perished - I am struggling to find anybody in the UK that would be able to supply the spares for this. Could anybody tell me if I will be able to fit a K&N Filter to this engine? Will it affect fuel/air mixture / be louder / quiter? Basically can I use a K&N air filter or will this cause issues with the engine? Thanks, mjmac

Sorry my mistake - I think this is obviously a clutched system.

Evening all, i have tried the pull start on my ros 125 and it doesn't seem to engage the prop?? Any ideas? thanks, mjmac
