1st Generation 270cc Experimental Paramotor - 'Re-Source' - Eggstatic #143

in paragliding •  7 years ago 

Hello All,

@eggstatic will become a chronological 're-source' for all my documented (video or otherwise) achievements in the last 10 years or so of my hobby/lifestyle activities, primarily but not exclusively related to my paragliding and/or paramotoring exploits.

Everything I post within this steemit realm will be my own original content, some of it may require the dust blowing off it ;)

My original Wordpress blog has a lot more information regarding the experimental paramotor side of things on offer for those of you with an inquisitive or inventive streak: https://eggmotor.wordpress.com/


Description taken from my YouTube channel:

After a bit of tweaking of the idle screw (no throttle mechanism fitted) the beast burst into life. This engine was an ex-karting unit running on LPG. After a complete component strip down, check and clean, I've fitted a new carb and carb insulator, new piston rings (cylinder has been honed) and a new head gasket. Valves have been freshly lapped and I have noticed that the previous owner has ported both the intake and exhaust for better air flow/power. The whole engine is in pretty good condition and also benefits from a pulse pump feed connector on the intake portion of the head. This engine has been de-governed by the previous owner too. The clutch/gearbox could probably do with a couple of new oil seals and maybe the clutch plates will need attention soon too. It's ready for work though :)


Thank you for stopping by and helping me to relive my finest moments.
