@@smad333 It's just tough having to figure out every last detail with only a few trailblazers as far as this goes. The only ones I know of who have undertaken this task is me and another guy, Dmitri Zyusin (he has a youtube channel on here with some good explanations). I used this same engine (technically a predator 212 but it's the same Honda clone), thought I might be able to cut corners to get adequate power. I'll quickly give you a rundown of what I have on mine. It's quite a list :)...
@@smad333 I have an upgraded cam (Black Mamba Sr), billet connecting rod, billet flywheel with timing advanced 8 degrees, milled the head and used thin head gaskets to give me a 12:1 compression ratio, 1.3 ratio rockers, chromoly pushrods, and had to piece together a custom reduction drive to rotate a 51 inch propeller. I did a lot more than that but those are the things that I considered to be the most important. I tried cutting corners, doing direct drive with a small prop, and found out that I pretty much had to go balls to the wall to get good thrust. However, after a lot of work I'm getting >50kg of thrust. I'm gonna try to post a video of a walkaround of my system but if you have any questions let me know, man. It's a rewarding endeavor :)
@@smad333 Hahaha I've watched all of those EggTV ones, that's what inspired me to start. BUT be careful because the direct drive doesn't really work very well, and he didn't really do much to upgrade the internals of the motor. I tried mirroring his progress but it didn't work out that well until I really started putting in some upgrades. But hell, if you can figure out something I didn't then more power to you. I'd be interested in seeing how your progress goes
There's a guy using two Honda GX 200's on his Lazair twin engine Ultralight. He uses reduction drives and 44" props. Also he is using Tillotson carburetors.
@@smad333 I just did. Great stuff, and very inspiring! I'm looking to build my own paramotor, but for tandem. Do you think it's feasable to use two engines?
@@bossmcasskick4051 I think two engines would be too heavy to lift. I would consider building a wheeled trike and upgrading the engine to a GX390 or larger as weight is then not so much of an issue
@@smad333 Alright, will do! The GX390 has 12hp and weighs 31kg. I found another with 16hp at the same weight, and for only $350, and locally available. Are there any other specs that I need to consider? I don't know enough about engines. Thanks in advance!

Oh buddy. Get ready, cause this is quite a project. Spoken from someone who traveled down this same path :)
Please do tell more :)

Sounds good friend...but where's the rest of the mower ?
There's a guy using two Honda GX 200's on his Lazair twin engine Ultralight. He uses reduction drives and 44" props. Also he is using Tillotson carburetors.
Thanks for that, I have seen his setup and it seems to work very well. I am planning to turn a 51" propeller through a reduction drive
This good engine and cheap... lil bit problem with shaking engine.. need lil modification with light flywheel..
how many RPM and the test
3600rpm out of the box, but you will need to watch the rest of the videos to see what happens
Shaft rotation counterclockwise ?
Yes counter clockwise
OK. Thank you
But this makes no sense... Isn't the engine to weak?
I think I read somewhere that it requires around 10-15hp to power a paramotor.
Please see rest of video series ;-)

@@smad333 I weigh about 115 if I build one using this type of engine will I be able to get lift stock?
Honda = Loncin????
Need 125 2 smoker much more raggable than this generator motor
