Cool purchase! new or used... take time and check it all. I bought a new motor and it had issues right out of the box. Check and fix before flying! ✌️

Thanks for the Info Marc, always nice if you can buy a unit you are familiar with.

Absolutely, especially from someone who took care of it. Dan’s a great guy. But sometimes you gotta buy from a stranger, and it’s best to check rather then take someone’s word, just in case.

Good tips Marc. If I can request a tip.... I can not siphon my fuel out of my tank to save my life. Would love to see how to do it. May be a minor thing but I suck at it... well suck is not the best word... I can’t suck it out so I guess I suck at sucking out my fuel.

Oh absolutely, I think I have it in the Tech Talk Thursday called 3 Tips on Fueling. Check it out.

This is how I do it. Put your source paramotor/tank up on a bench (12-15 inches is usually enough). Route your extra fuel line/hose/whatever you have between the source and destination. Put a shop towel or paper towel around the hose on the source/top side and stuff at the top of the tank to cover as much as possible to prevent as much air from escaping as possible, or use a spare cap with a hole big enough for the hose. Make sure the hose is bending down toward the destination tank as much as possible as close to the top of your tank as possible. Pressurize your tank, and the fuel should start flowing from the source to the destination. I do this by blowing into my blow-tube/primer line that's connected to my tank (Nitro 200). If you don't have this you could just run a 2nd line into your source tank for pressurizing. This is a lot better than trying to suck fuel. If you know where the end of your fuel line is in your tank you can lean the paramotor in that direction while it empties to completely drain it in one cycle.

Did he buy a new paramotor or is he calling it quits.

I upgraded to a (new to me) AC Nitro 200.

Here's another tip! Never buy a used Paramotor when you know nothing about the sport! I did. I paid the price of being impulsive...better known as stupid.

It happens, but any purchase over $300 requires some research. Especially one that you might fly. 🤣
