spigot Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Don't think of them as positive and negative. more like in-line earth switches. The starter button earths the relay or solenoid. And the stop button earths the coil. Simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazgrace Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 wired it all up as it should be ,But the starter motor seems like it has not got enough power . But i have started it with the battery on 2 seperate switches for starter and kill switch and it works fine . Could it be the wires in the throttle are not thick enough to carry the power as the ones i wired seperate are thicker . It does say in the manual for the engine they should be 4mm min . If it is the throttle i have where could i get a throttle with the thicker wires to carry the power through . I got this throttle with my frame i bought ..

spigot Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Hi Gaz. The wires in the throttle cable should not be drawing large amps. they are merely to earth the relay or the ignition coil. The high amps are switched at the relay. give me a ring and ill talk you through it 07789 770 741 Colin B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Sutton Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Colin: I found your 2010 diagram which was very clear. Can you add an ON/OFF diagram to it? Has anyone here developed an electrical system troubleshooting guide or checklist for a paramotor? I am trying to build a trouble shooting process diagram for the AC Tornado but the Manual's Electric Scheme diagram on pg 23 is incomplete. And it incorrectly depicts the Main Switch (SPDT). I wondered if anyone can recommend a link for Someone whose already trekked this path. My Main Switch failed yesterday [replaced] but I'd like to complete this learning and discussion.

AndyB Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I use the above diagram (in the manual) for Nitro and Tornado E start. What do you think is missing? Electrically I have had in 170 hours..... on/off switch fail on Nitro. Relay fail in the on position on Nitro. Nothing on Tornado fail.
