  1. Ahh okay, it did seem a bit odd that there was some sort of breather on the tank. As it transpires the pistons holed, so I shall replace all the fuel lines and get the cylinder head rebored and new piston.... May be after recommendations for other motors! Thanks for all the help guys!
  2. Hi there. I am having some issues with my polini thor 100. I've done about 30 hours on it since acquiring it second hand, previous amount of hours were unknown. Brief history: Was prone to fuel starving (presumably) if not primed correctly. Had been flying a revo 2 26m wing which wasn't too demanding on the motor so this never starved, then a 24m gtx which had no issues, started flying an itv wing and I had a load of problems, mainly maintenance issues all of which are now remidied with a carb rebuild, new gearbox gaskets and some bearings. Went for the first flight on 6 months and the motor cut out just after climbing altitude, the motor had been up for 20mins. Can someone advise me on how the fuel system should be setup, there's a kink just before the prime bulb which may be the root of my problem, is there any reason to not replace the fuel lines to the same thick gauge that's used above the prime bulb? There appears to be thin tubing, then thick tubing after the bulb. Also is the high point a problem? Air often seems to get trapped in their however this may be due to restricted fuel flow because of the kink. Any help or pictures of setups would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
  3. Hello! I am currently learning to fly a paramotor. I have been using a paramania gtx for ground handling so far. However to progress further I need to purchase my own wing. I would love to get a paramania revo or gtx styled wing, around 24m. I will be flying using a 100cc engine and I weigh around 11-12 stone. Please feel free to suggested any other appropriate wings. I am on the hunt for something that I will be able to grow into and is not so easy that it will become boring, however similarly I wish to be safe and not thrown in too much at the deep end. Thanks all! PS. I am down in Dorset, UK, so ideally nothing too far away although I am whilling to travel for the right wing.
