    Pap fuel tank

    in General paramotor discussion

    Posted

    I do believe I don't have such extra bits on my frame. So theoretically the 13l tank will fit mine. What I don't know is how big my current tank is. but if you want to swap for one that don't leak I'm up for it :-)

    Getting Paramotor from USA to UK?

    I'll second chillie, I was a Caa dangerous goods operator in the Raf. Run your engine dry, empty the tank and leave the top off to vent for 24 hours. Then take it to any major cargo company. They will take care of the paperwork and packing and the (up to) $100,000 fine if they get it wrong. If your found smuggling dangerous goods in your suitcase you loose the motor and face a hefty fine. As was someone in February this year.

    And let's not forget they are called dangerous goods for a reason. I don't want to get on a plane thinking someone had failed to declare a shed load of fertiliser and a loose handful of lithium batteries. would anyone else?

    That's just missing the retaining spring that holds it all together by the looks of it. Fairly sure I have a bendix in the workshop you can have. And The small spring at the end also has a habit of lunching itself.

    GROUNDED - until further notice :( broken crank

    I'm betting DK didn't mill the crank themselves. So it must belong to a 2 stoker from the 90's . Get yourself to a good old fashion bike breakers and talk to the bearded bloke who smells of old holbourn. Bet you he knows exactly what it came from. And might even have one hidden at the back of the workshop. cost a few jugs of cripple cock to take it off his hands though :-)

    Do you drive a car?

    Was your instruction carried out over an Internet forum or by a driving instructor sat next to you?

    My personal advice for Michael would be to wait for personal tuition from his instructor.

    Forum advice is just that. All views from the forum should be taken with caution. And it is certainly no replacement for leaning the first stages in the field with at least a seasoned pilot to guide and correct any bad habits from the outset.

    Blackhawk Paramotor blows a piston

    in Paramotors.

    The WG8 carb has adjustable low needle only, therefore if you needed the jet open to 3 turns for normal running it means your high jet is Blocked !

    Hence the lean mixture and the holed piston.

    Strip the carb down and clean before using again.
