I believe fllooding can be caused by a variety of issues, but you should consider a simple and inexpensive carberator membranes change and if that fails, a...
I'm a bit confused here... the engine still has a flooding problem. It opens up at 0.9 bar. In the miniplane website they say 15 PSI is OK , that is 1 bar. In...
Peter, Suggest you inspect the reed valve and also crankshaft seals. Most importantly ensure you don't have a stuck ring on the piston. Lack of crankcase...
Hi, Sometimes it is so easy to get confused over these problems when often the solution is simple. Often the best way to tackle the problem is to go back to...
Hi Scott I've sent you a couple of e mails off list recently and not sure if you are getting them. Can you confirm. Cheers Simon ... Most importantly ensure...
Dear Pilots, Since few weeks I own a nice top 80 paramotor. I have a question about the fuel. I read in the web site that the mixed fuel should not to be used...
... I think that you might not worry about that. The only thing that have been proven to brake engine is to forget the oil or to have to lean air/ gas mixture....
... Hi Guy's, thanks for the responses i got from you all, really helps! After my flooding problem, i decided to recheck the ignition-timing and found it...
You need to tighten the flywheel (rotor mass) to at least 25 lbs ft (11 kg) of torque or it shall lose established timing. Miniplane makes a special "flywheel...
hi ignition timing is a very critical job, why don't contact the miniplane service ? you have a very good dealer near you, please contact : marc@... per...
Being new to this group, I do not know whether this subject has been worn out already; however, I have NO clue as to what type or weight of gear oil or grease...
I'm not sure as I think that earlier models used a grease, and newer models use an oil bath. You will need to check this first. I will look into this however...
Anyone know what the setting should be for this? That is, the measurement of the lever end to some reference on the carb ie the back face or the gasket surface...

The first clutch plate lasted almost 200 hours before the dogs started getting stuck in the deep grooves that they had dug in the plate. I thought, oh well, a...
I updated my website with the plans to build the Wonder-Whip radio antenna. More detailed photographs are now provided. The Wonder-Whip is a killer antenna...
... Hi Guy's, just to keep you posted : this evening i remounted the flying wheel to the correct ignition timing, with the proper torque ( 6kg , 11 kg as...
Peter, What "timing" did you use? The top80 website says .9 to .95mm BTDC (0.035-0.037in). Scott told me last year to use 0.045-0.050in. BTDC (1.143-1.270mm) ...
Hi,
Could you tell me where (on what website in Europe) I could buy a new piston, for a Top80?
Thank you for all answer.

Hi Pierre, If you're not too far from the Belgium border, you can always contact the belgian dealer (Marc). You'll find his details on www.top80.be -but...
Beware of advancing too much: many variables like Octane rating, atmospheric preassure, low air humidity, engine mean temp, lean mixture, inertial engine load,...
I agree. But here is a situation where the factory says one thing, but our expert, Scott Travers, says something else. Who do you believe? Scott's reason for...
