-Here's Check's website www.powerglider.biz/Home.html give him a call. I paid $4250 for the new iFlyer complete with 132cm prop(51in.) configuration. No...
I have been flying different paramotors with the Top 80 motor for about 7 years now. Recently I got a new Top 80 with the oil filled gear box. My question is...
Heavy Gear Oil, usually about 140SAE. Service every 500 hours (same as old gearbox) and replace with 40ml. It looks way too little oil, but any more makes a...
The oil is extreme pressure gear oil with an SAE of 130. 30ml is required if you change it. I changed mine after 300 odd hours when the seals started to let a ...
I took a flight up to a little over 9500 feet in a miniplane with a top80 last weekend but couldn't get any higher, engine started losing power/rpm's. I...
Dave, Most Top80 have the Walbro WG8 carburetor, which, please someone correct me if I am wrong, does not have a mixture control for high range RPM. The screw...
The pop-off pressure controls the midrange, while the top-end is set with a replaceable jet of 1.16mm diameter. The short screw on the carb is simply idle...
WOW dave, I dream to go so high. you are lucky to be so light some people use to set the carburator by hand in competition, and sure you need to set if you fly...
When I fly high altitude on the Top80, I use the 73:19 gearbox (3.84 : 1) ratio, but fit the standard propeller designed for the 72:20 (3.6 : 1 ). The prop...
I sent the earlier post (copy below) from my mobile phone, so it was very brief. I would like to recap now from a decent keyboard. The WG8 carb, as use don the...
Thanks Jerome, just so I'm not confused... the long screw in front of the short idle screw will not help me go any higher? It is only going to adjust mid...
... Nope, this is not correct. I posted a detailed expalantion a few hours ago, let me know if you do not find it. ... Actually, my Top80 runs at 10 500+ at...
My engine runs at 75% power at about 1/2 throttle. If I go any further on the throttle it sputters and jerks bad. Let back to 1/2 or so and it picks right up...
... Its a very commong ignition problem, not related to carb. Either your Spark Plug gap is too large (I prefer 0.5mm max), or your Magneto Gap is too large (I...
Whats the suggested maintenance for the TOP80? ie in re-build etc to give a continued reliable service. Read in a recent post that some one had re-built their...

depends from wich oil you are using if you see black wet drops coming out from the exaust means that you are using too much oil, or too rich carburation. too...
