Thank you SO much for this ..I've been looking at the GY6 for the last couple of days and I figured it would be the best for a paramotor (especially the price and the performance upgrades) my only worry was modifying the case (like the long case 150cc GY6's). I am going to download your vid off of youtube and use it as a template..you saved me so much time. I may have to message you if I have any questions but I'm making this a 1 and a half year project so i might answer my own questions thnks!
The Gy6 engine has a massive range of after-market parts, that is the reason I based my project on it. Parts range frome big-bore kits, stroker cranks to fuel injection and even small turbo chargers!!! Nearly every Chinese 4st scooter has a GY6 copy powering it. Have a good look on E-bay, you might be suprised.
Very neat buildup sir ! This looks very promising, I am getting into a 4st project myself : 140cc dirt bike engine, fuel injected and supercharged to get 20-25 hp. I've been looking for the gy6 but it looked to have no upgrade parts and more limited availability in France. Give us some news !
Hi Robin, to be honest it takes bloody ages to build something like this, but the way I look at it is Bailey want over £3000 for exactly what I have made for less than £500!
It may not be as pretty but who cares! I have just started on another engine to replace this one and hopefully now most of the R&D is done it should go a lot smoother. As for the reduction gearing, buy a set, it's the way I am going to do this one as I would like to use a serpentine belt in stead of 'V' belts and,,,,,,,,
@7275steve ,,,,,,when you take into consideration the time it takes to make these yourself it's just not worth it! Have a go I will always help out if I can. Look at some of my saved favourites the 'Yamaha four stroke paramotor' is a good one.
nice one, i would love to have a go at home build, but with no lathe i would be unable to make reduction gearing with all the assoiated bearing housing,and offset shaft ect, and bending tubing perfectly round to form cage must be a nighmare, saying that if i find correct engine at right price i may have a go thanks for inspiration robin
@lookupparagliding Cheers, I have been following your 'build' for quite a while! it's good to have some insperation and see how other people have overcome certain problems as well as choice in materials, parts etc..
I hope to get a video of the thrust test on as soon as it's done as well as a more detailed look at the unit. How did you do your thrust testing? did you put you machine on a set of rollers?
@7275steve Hello Steve, either the 'on the back' test as in a few of our more recent vids or with the Monster fixed to the quad, I would hold bathroom scales against the backplate in line with center of thrust and Sam would give it 'the beans' with the throttle ;o)
p.s. good to hear you've been an 'Egg' follower :o)

Dear Steve
I am riding an engine of this for me.
I would like if possible, you give me some information.
What size and pitch of the helix are you using?
As he held the support of the Re-drive?
Would have higher resolution photos of the changes?
My email: mafly@bol.com.br
Thanks,
Marcio.
PS. Sorry my English, I'm using a translator

Hi Steve, what changes you made on the engine? Or is it stock?

No worries, you can contact me any time. Have a look at my other video as this shows the Mk 2, a much simpler and more efficient use of a GY6 engine.
Cheers, Steve.
