Maintenance and Repair/Rebuild Services
Diagnostic/ Troubleshooting
$100
Every engine that comes to my shop will be ran on the test stand for a baseline overall health assessment in addition to standard 2 cycle engine tests such as compression and pressure/vacuum tests. Diagnostics are performed on the engine stand with the exception of intermittent problems which may require a diagnostic performed under typical flight conditions. This means I will mount your engine on my paramotor chassis and fly it to see if I can reproduce the problem you are experiencing.
