Preface:
The information in this manual focuses on using BlackHawk 125 Lite and Talon 190 motors, but the
mechanical principals and maintenance techniques that we are using with our engines could be applied
to other manufacturer’s engines as long as you have those specific engine settings for what we are
discussing in this manual. If you’re a novice with motors, then 2 stroke motors can seem like they are
notorious unreliable. Any expert would disagree and say that is because you just do not understand
them. The goal of this manual is to help give you that basic understanding so that you have the most
fun with your Paramotor. We understand that not all Paramotor enthusiasts are mechanically inclined,
and that is why we have tried to explain this information in a straight forward and simple way. Is there a
more complicated way to explain this information to you, of course there is, but it’s not necessary.
One thing to keep in mind, as you become familiar with your Paramotor you will begin to understand
the characteristics of your engine, what it sounds like and how it feels as you rev your engine through
the different RPM ranges. Understanding the feel and sound of your engine as it operates normally is
important, this is quickest way to determine if something is changing with how your engine performs. If
something does not feel or sound right as you perform a pre-flight engine check, then do not fly. The
last thing you want is for your engine to fail while you are in flight.
We will say this multiple times throughout this manual as we want to make sure you understand -
BlackHawk is not accountable or responsible for the engine work that you perform on your or any other
Paramotor engine. If you damage your Paramotor while you are performing the work on it, then you
are accountable for the damage. If you feel you are not qualified to perform the work, then please
contact us or a qualified BlackHawk Dealer for assistance.

The Basics of How a 2-Stroke Engine Works
A 2 Stroke engine is the simplest form of an engine design. There are very few moving parts, and they
provide more horsepower for their size and weight compared to a 4 stroke engine. In order to
understand how to work on your Paramotor you need to understand the basics of how a 2 stroke
engine works. The explanation we provide in this manual is a simple explanation in order to provide a
person who does not understand a 2 stroke engine enough information to use this manual
competently. If you want to understand more about 2 Stroke engines, then visit the Wiki page at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-stroke_engine
Above is a diagram of a 2 stroke engine. You can see there are no belts, gears, or other moving parts
except for the piston and the crankcase area. The reed valves only allow the air fuel mixture to flow
into the crankcase area, and the control of the intake and exhaust ports are handled by the position of
the piston as it moves up and down in the cylinder wall.
The diagram above shows the 4 different phases the engine goes through as it performs one revolution
or cycle.
Engine Manual Talon 190 and Lite 125 Ver .99b 4/08/2019
pg. 9
When thinking about the operation of a 2 Stroke motor, the piston in the diagram should start at Top
Dead Center (TDC). This is the starting and ending point of a full cycle or revolution of the engine
crankcase. Just before the piston reaches the top of the stroke (TDC) the spark plug ignites the air fuel
mixture as shown in the picture below.
The expanding mixture drives the piston downward until it begins to uncover the exhaust port. The
majority of the pressure in the cylinder is released after the port begins to open, and the burnt air fuel
mixture begins to flow out of the engine.
During the down stroke, the falling piston creates a positive pressure in the crankcase area which
causes the reed valve to close. The air fuel mixture in the crankcase is compressed until the piston
travels down far enough to uncover the intake port opening, at which point the new air fuel mixture
flows up into the cylinder chamber. As the cylinder is letting the new air fuel mixture in, the final
residual exhaust gases are pushed out of the exhaust port.
Engine Manual Talon 190 and Lite 125 Ver .99b 4/08/2019
pg. 10
As the engine finishes the down stroke, the engine begins its up stroke. The piston moves up the
cylinder wall, and this will shut off the intake port first and then the exhaust port last. The piston is now
compressing the air fuel mixture in the cylinder chamber. During the up stroke, the piston creates a
vacuum in the crankcase area, and this causes the reed valve to open, and pulls the new air fuel
mixture into the engine crankcase area.
The 2 Stroke engine is now back at the beginning of its engine cycle where the piston is at TDC. The
spark plug has just fired, and the engine is just beginning its down stroke again.
