Mike hazeltine Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 hi there, I have purchased a near finished wingding microlight . it has a solo 210 15 hp engine. It is to small for my weight ,can i increase the power with exhorst and new carb ? I need to gain another hath hp at least to get me off the ground. Bi plane is 115 lb with engine I'm 242 lb max weight is 320lb I don't have £2,500 for a nice new engine to carry me.? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I had a solo 210 powered paramotor, with tuned exhaust. I think 15 hp is all you can get, not what you want to hear sorry> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR002 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I started paramotoring with an Adventure paramotor with standard solo 210 engine. I upgraded the engine with tuned pipe but you also need a cylinder head with bigger cooling fins as well, there was no carb change. Did not amount to much more power. This is a very old engine design first made to drive water pumps in Africa I was told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
