mjmac Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hi All, Would anybody be able to offer any advice on the following: I have a Solo 210 Engine with the original box type exhaust system on it which is in need of a change. I am struggling to get hold of any spares for this engine i.e. the standard box exhaust or the tuned exhaust. My question is - can I use an exhaust that has been made for another paramotor engine like; Vittorazi, Simonini or MInari etc. What would be the implications of doing this? Is it just a case of manufacturing a flange adapter for the change in flange connection detail from the Solo 210 to the new Exhaust? Any advice would be much appreciated? Thanks, mjmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch130 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 You may be able to fit another exhaust but the distance from the manifold to the expansion chamber is critical. If it is to short it will send hot gasses back into the cylinder and over heat the engine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmac Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Thanks Mitch - I have tried contacting Fresh Breeze UK quite a few times now. Have you any experience in fitting a different type of exhaust to the Solo 210? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptwizz Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The exhaust system of a 2 stroke is very much part of the engine. The wrong exhaust can make a huge difference to power, or even make the engine impossible to start. That said, there is a great deal in common between many of the engines used in paramotors. Many of them are derived from kart engines and many of the kart engines are essentially copied from one another. If you can find an exhaust from a similar engine (similar capacity, power, rpm) then you should be in with a good chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmac Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Thanks ptwizz - Yes I think it might be best for me to just wait to find a tuned Solo 210 exhaust to save any complications. On another note, would you happen to know if I wanted to take off the flywheel (toothed gear) from behind the prop (I think it engages with the gear from the starter motor) it it simply a case of removing the prop and the part the prop bolts too? If I done this it would mean the belt would be loose, would I need to have this put back together by an expert, I ask because I assume the belt is tensioned up to a certain level? I want to take the flywheel off as it has become rusty and i want to get it bead blasted and treated to remover the corrosion?

kiwi k Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 mjmac do you have a picture of your pulley set-up or can you confirm the make + model of your paramotor ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesplat Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 The Hirth f-36 motor is the same motor from what I can gather as the solo210 and it's still current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch130 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 No I have not worked on the solo . Can the original exhaust be repaired ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmac Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 I have taken a photo - but it is too large to attach - my engine is a solo 210 and I am wanting to take the toothed gear disc off from behind the prop - thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
