kiwi k Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Sorry morgy but unless a new law has recently passed its " If you purchased the goods after 1 October 2015 theConsumer Rights Act applies." Repair or replace If you are outside the 30-day right to reject, you have to give the retailer one opportunity to repair or replace any goods or digital content which are of unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described. You can state your preference, but the retailer can normally choose whichever would be cheapest or easier for it to do. If the attempt at a repair or replacement is unsuccessful, you can then claim a refund or a price reduction if you wish to keep the product. You're entitled to a full or partial refund instead of a repair or replacement if any of the following are true: the cost of the repair or replacement is disproportionate to the value of the goods or digital content a repair or replacement is impossible a repair or replacement would cause you significant inconvenience the repair would take an unreasonably long amount of time. If a repair or replacement is not possible, or the attempt at repair fails, or the first replacement also turns out to be defective, you have a further right to receive a refund of up to 100% of the price you paid, or to reject the goods for a full refund. If you don't want a refund and still want your product repaired or replaced, you have the right to request that the retailer makes further attempts at a repair or replacement. Use our step-by-step guide if you want to ask a retailer to repair or replace something you've bought that subsequently develops a fault.

admin (Simon W) Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 This is all getting a little mountain out of mole hill I would like to think that everyone reading this, knows full well that Parajet will sort it either themselves or by sending the engine off if they cant solve it SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asquaddie Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Simon - I don't really agree it is a little mountain out of a mole hill 'for me' anyway. But I do fully agree that Parajet will sort it out or send it off. Either way, I'll get a lot more care than I would do from an oversea company (in my opinion) It is still my New motor and I would like the problem fixed as soon as possible please. No more nasty comments until the problem can't be resolved by us guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi k Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Parajet are a reliable and well estabilished company and i'm sure they will fix or resolve the problem, but like i said before if it was my motor i would have a totally different view and thats not in a Nasty comment way, Only good side at the minute is the weather is crap so you're not missing much flying . I'll sit down and be silent now on this subject . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin (Simon W) Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 The mountain mole hill thing was more aimed at the quotes from the law and such (not reflecting on it being your motor) 'Ask Tom or anyone at Parajet what I am like when my motor needs something sorting' Many think I am the best customer... I think I am the worst! lolol SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgy Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 My commnmts were in no way having a go At P jet, I am a Parajet dealer after all and have had nothing but good service from them, Saying that I am in many ways like simon, I don't take any BS if there is a problem it needs sorting and sorting fast!! Kiwi, I am not a lawyer and i was going from experience of a local guy who had a simo in a CZ made Paramotor.. He had many issue with His starter breaking constantly, then the belts would shred every 5 hours, He had too send it back every time, Are EU consumer rights different? His issues did end up in small claims court, Even tho he bought it form a Uk dealer he had too allow them to fix every issue 3 times for it to be deemed as not fit for purpose, Long story short, he never got all of his money back as he had played with it buy trying to fix it but was compensated... Maybe the laws have changed?? this was around 2009 We all know how frustrating problems are especially on a new machine or buying spares in the UK, One big reason i started up Sussex Paramotors! Anyway Back to Asquaddie's topic Hopefully this will be a distant memory very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asquaddie Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Just a quick update on the motor. Parajet's arranging picking the motor up tomorrow. Going to have a look inside, put it on a test bed again and someone will take it for a fly before being sending it back to me. Let's hope it's back before the fly-in.

kiwi k Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 morgy yes to EU consumer rights, yes to changing of law since 2009, and if the idiot played around with item when still under guarantee, bloody lucky he got any compensation refund, most firms are very helpful when a problem occurs and not looking for bad customer complaints, as bad publicity is not good at all especially if its a small company.

Ivan Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I was not saying that the spark absence was the reason for hydro lock. But the absence of the spark can cause it no doubt... The reason for missing spark is the shortcircuit inside the throttle handle. I had it with three handes. Lucky enough.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asquaddie Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Ivan I would be shocked if it was the throttle handle, because the head was dry and it would not cause the starter pulley or engine to seize three times. Surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Sorry for not being clear with my post - I just meant that the throttle handle and particularly the engine kill button can cause the spark absence. I am not saying anything at this point what was the reason for this blocking (seizure) you are describing. Eventually the button in my throttle handle was replaced by Vitorazzi distributor and I was told that I was not the only one with this problem.. Hope the guys will found what was the issue with you engine. Edited March 21, 2017 by Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asquaddie Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Ivan - Not a problem. I'm just hoping the guys at Parajet can find and fix the problem with mine, because the last thing I want them to do is ship it back to Vitorazzi for an inspection.

Hammbone Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 What was the problem with this engine? Was it ever fixed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asquaddie Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Ye, sorry. It just shows you only put bad/moaning news in the forums and it is very rare you write good stuff down. Well, only the gods will really know what is wrong. Every time the motor goes back to Parajet it is perfect - no problems at all. They test it on the ground, even Tom had a flight on it (I think Parajet have clocked up more hours on my machine than I have lol ). At home I still have all the problems. Well, after further investigation and plenty of talking to Dan at Parajet ( once again credit to the team) it appears that they only use 100ml to 5l mix in all the motors they test/fix. And at home I’ve been using 125ml to 5l as per the instructions. I’m using TTS, not sure what Parajet is using, I guess not the same). Well, in the end I asked Dan to write an email to me and tell me to us the 100ml mixture. It was still under warranty and I did not want to blow a hole. Now for the goods news, I took it to the field and put 100ml in and it was great and since then I’ve had plenty of hours in it and never had a problem (I guess it is slight cheaper too ) I can’t explain why, in fact really, I’ve never had a problem as long as I put 100ml into 5l it works ‘sweet as a nut’. I think as to date my longest flight is 130 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazb Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 So I just rebuilt my carb on my moster 185 plus.. I went super slow and I thought I did everything correctly, as I followed the vittorazi video on YouTube and did exactly as they did. The first time I went to prime the engine, the primer bulb pushed fuel to the carb but the primer bulb would not tighten up and then allow me to push the primer button to let a little fuel in. I believe its pushing fuel straight into the carb. Thoughts on what I did wrong and what could remedy the situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Did you check the pop-off pressure,,,,, and more importantly the pop-off re-seat pressure? I have had 2 carbs that seemed ok, but once the pop-off lifted it would not re-seat and would just let fuel through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
