I have straight piped mine. Now I need the adapter and filter for intake. Where did you get that stuff? Does it have a place for the vent tube from the valve cover also? Did you change the main jet? Please let me know.
@monkeyBoner773 I do rev it a little on this video but the camcorder doesn't pick it up well. There are many more videos on our channel of the engine at max revs if you care to browse thru them.
If you watch my latest video then you will see the thrust/rpm data from the propellor's manufacturer (Xoar). A 'standard' size 48 inch paramotor prop shouldn't go above 3000rpm but mine is much smaller at 34inch. The latest video shows that it will produce upto 47kg thrust at 5600rpm.
Hi matey, not got prop yet. It's just that pipkeajaj(search youtube for him) stated that the old Solo engine in standard setup(~13hp) wouldn't give more than 30-35kg thrust with a directly driven prop. I found on the web that this would have been a 70cm prop spinning at 6,500rpm. My argument was that a 2 stroke Solo won't give the 13hp at a lowly 6,500rpm(probs above 10,000rpm). So it's possible that the 30-35kg thrust came from just 8-9hp. I could be wrong but that's why I said Sods Law.
The drag would have reached a point where the prop couldn't spin any faster, maybe a thinner model aircraft prop would've given more thrust. Hopefully my calcs are roughly correct and I've ordered a suitable prop size/pitch to give 40kg+ @ 5,000rpm. Being a 4 stroke, I'm not sure if all that extra torque over a 2 stroke will help beef up the thrust?
15hp for £300 ain't bad going, especially as everything is new. I'll have to rig up a 'bathroom scales' rig asap so I can measure the thrust, cos it'll be killing me to find out. It's poss to mod these upto 20hp for around £600 but I don't want to make it unreliable. If more power is needed then I'll lightly mod a heavier GX390 to around 17hp for less than £400. ArrowProps reckon I should make just shy of 50kg thrust with a 17hp engine & 36x12 prop.

titanictechno**** You sound like a ip shit!
This will go on a kart or minibike,
More rpm's = More power
why would he buy a pro mod motor if its not going to have over 6000 rpm?
do some home work b4 you post dumb shit

Hi
Sorry but I am very sceptical. To my best knowledge propelar should not be runining
faster than 3000 rpm. Any thing over is useless,
propeler is losing trust force. Any how, good
luck.

Hi there,
I'm not sure. You would have to do a search on Black Hawk's site, sorry.

Sods Law: It'll only give 35kg thrust!!!!
