Paramotor Tips & Tricks - How to Install a Cylinder Head Temperature Gauge on a Powered Paraglider

blackhawkparamotor.com/ [phone]
BlackHawk Paramotor's Tips & Tricks Videos have helped many pilots enjoy this sport to its fullest! In this video, we demonstrate how to properly install a cylinder head temperature gauge on your Paramotor. The installation process is simple, and this method should be universal to other motors on the market. As always, if you have any questions, make sure to contact a Certified Flight Instructor prior to use.
Preventative maintenance comes in many forms. One of them being the incorporation of gauges to diagnose a problem before it starts. In addition to having a cylinder head temperature gauge, a tachometer is highly recommended. These gauges are inexpensive, easy-to-use, and can save you thousands of dollars in repair costs. There are many flight gauges available on the market. BlackHawk Paramotors has specifically chosen these due to their quality, ease of use, accuracy, and affordability. To order yours, please call or visit the website listed at the top of this video description.

Keep the tips coming :)

[@spotyfly4559]

Nice video, thanks for showing. there is just one thing, in the manual of the TTO its written to remove the original crush washer from the spark plug and replace it with the Sensor one, they have the same distance. You leave it on in the video for any specific reason? ;)

So which is the correct way to install the plug, with or without the crush washer.

What was the answer? I was about to install mine this afternoon but also noticed Mike did not remove the crush washer. TTO instructions say the sensor washer replaces the plug's crush washer.

[@blackhawkparamotor]

Thanks for posting a question! I checked with the office because we've had a few people asking about this. Sorry about any confusion in the video. You can use both washers, or remove one and it will function the same... The most important thing is to make sure there isn't any leakage (weather you use one or two washers). Just ensure that it's "snug" enough to stay in place and seal. If you have any issues with the installation, PLEASE don't hesitate to give us a call or email anytime =)
