First Time Starting a Paramotor, Fresh Breeze Monster

Finally got everything together tonight to try starting my Fresh Breeze Monster paramotor. I wasn't sure how easy or hard it was going to be.

Picked up some non-ethanol fuel and mixed the oil.  Since this was a used paramotor, the first thing I did was make sure that all the old fuel was out of the system. Once that was done, I added the fresh fuel and checked for any leaks. The inline shutoff valve was leaking just bit when it was in the on position. I turned the valve off and the leak stopped.  There was still plenty of fuel already in the carberator so I figured I could get it started and just run the gas out. 

The first couple of pulls on the starter and nothing happened other than turning it over.

Then, eureka! Holding it back on the trike is not the easies thing to do.  My son Drake and I were having a blast.
