You never took out the spring. That is the problem i have at the moment lol

I'm sitting here for the last hour trying to get the bushing off the flange..... What a night its been lol

Perfect! thanks Kris solved my problem

Kyle, long time happy customer but recently switched to a Polini 202.... any chance you guy will be adding more offerings for Polini engines? Love doing business with Skysports!

What a great idea. Two of the best in the business coming together to make this happen. 🪂🪂

Where do I sign up?! I want to fly the factory R and if possible, the EFI back to back!

Then use Loctite 638 Retaining Compound on the replacement MP043 to hold securely in place.

What about using lubricant on the recoil spring? Mine is sticking to itself is graphite spray ok?

how do you get the spring loaded burshes in? 4 hands?? seems very difficult since the brushes want to pop out

thanks, exactly what I needed. don't need to buy whole motor, just brushes :)

Can anyone tell me what is the function of the green liner and what would happen if I remove it?

Hello, these 3 prop are recommended to Moster 185 EFI too?

This is awesome. I hate this shroud though.

Hands down my favorite PPG vendor, great videos, and service! The airheads make everything better! Thanks guys! ~ Erik K.

Wonder if anyone has tried this on the Factory R? Says it has not been certified for it, but does that mean it's not compatible at all?

This a super nice explanation ✌️

This is way over simplified. I've had my bolts get vibrated out and break props. Make sure to add blue Loctite on the threads and red Loctite on the exterior of the nuts and bolts.

You need it to clean and lubricate that spring then it will work much easier

Are these exhaust pipes still known to crack or has that been addressed?

Great video! I keep having issues with my pull cord! I think I might have figured out what it is

Hello. The MP053 spring of my pull starter has broken and I just ordered a new one. Can you please explain what is the procedure to replace it? Thanks ;)

what is heat shrink on a spring for?

You guys are great.

Hello, I just broke in my Moster 185. I'm wondering how much oil is acceptable at the exhaust joint. I'm assuming this is quite normal. It's not that much but there is oil on the cylinder and around the exhaust at the joint. Thank you!

hi! interesting video.. im going to buy a moster my22... But.. i didnt know about 2 types of reducction Could you explain me whats the diferent between them??? Does Vitorazzi sell the engines with reduction "random"? or you choose it? thanks in advance for the answer!

Overpriced piece of plastic garbage that can and will break many times over the engines life span potentially killing the pilot when it fails. I’ve had these starters fail on startup or blow up while running and jamming the flywheel to a dead stop and killing the motor on multiple Moster 185’s. I like the Moster engines themselves but the starters are overpriced death traps.

Thanks for the video! Do you apply the grease regardless the bronze ring replacement?

One day my exhaust will look that clean....

Other than the weight i love my yooda yak.

The maintenance manual says to measure the gap between the spring and washers. In the video you make a measurement without the spring in place. Is there a reason for this? I'm trying to do this maintenance and am trying to figure out the correct way to do so.

At the risk of being outside the bounds of "what you SHOULD do".... can you comment about what the consequences are for running a prop that is has a mismatched reduction ratio. Would it be correct to assume that having a motor/pulley that was 2.68 reduction ratio and putting a 2.87 prop on it would be placing you at risk of poorer cooling and is the higher risk type of mismatch? And, if that is so, would running a 2.68-ratio'd-prop on a motor setup with a 2.87 pulley be a situation where you might lose efficiency but you shouldn't really be "risking damage or overheating"? In other words, is running a 2.68 prop that is mismatched relatively safe/OK but mismatching the other way adds risk? Is this correct or have I gotten this backwards (or maybe there are other considerations)?

It's pawls but who's counting as long as the Moster is fit to fly!! 😊👍🏼thank you for the vid..

Thanks for video, Kyle. My starter has broken in flight. Loose center bolt and backlash appeared and almost complete internal destruction occurred. You need to twist it tightly and keep an eye on it. Engine running 47FH.

Airheads! 😁 Appreciate you guys!

Love it! Straight to the point.

Thanks for assembling an all together kit. Makes it an easy order.

Nice. What cleaner was used here (and lubricant on the pin)?

How often do those starters need rebuilt

Great video / I GOTTA add: Use a non petroleum based lubricant to slip lines over swedge fittings. The problem with using “2 stroke oil”, as recommended in video is. The fuel line is made from petroleum products / lubricating it with petroleum accelerates decomposition of the fuel line….. and right at the most critical points. It’s like when you put a rubber band on your wrist & after a day or two it starts getting weak, loose, falling apart. That’s the natural oil secreting from your skin, migrating into the rubber band ( petroleum product ) so the oil from your skin ( petroleum ) is trying to break down the rubber band ( petroleum product ) to its natural state. Nowwwwww…….. All that said, YES, I realize it’s PETROLEUM that will be pumped through the line & yes, this too, at a slower rate than oil, corrodes the line. That’s also WHY it’s important NOT to use an oil based lubricant slipping on the line, that WILL accelerate the break down & your leaks WILL start there BEFORE you see the damage & much sooner than if you had not started with that oil based lubricant. Sorry it’s long winded / it’s really simple. Simply put, you could spit on it & it would be better….. a lil touch of dish washing detergent on the swedge. And there are plenty of petroleum free lubricants for sale just for this purpose & reason. Have fun, fly safe! #stayhuman

Good content! These Vittorazi Moster 185 recoil starters are certainly a weak link, if not a complete nightmare! I've found that they need constant maintenance. Another issue is that the recoil spring will sometimes break, or become disengaged from the retainer, allowing it to just spin in place, and not create any tension. Uuuggghhh!!!

I found out it is possible to put the spring clip on backwards/upside down. If your pawls aren’t engaging as expected, flip the clip.

Can you run a cht with the shroud?

Unless they've redesigned since early MY20 you skipped the part with all the swearing as you try to flex the shroud over the studs. Lol

Very creative! The install trick is this: don't be afraid to apply the necessary pressure to bend the upper part of the shroud back and over the upper studs. Not as easy as the mutant turtles make it look here. 🐢🐢🐢

I haven't had to do any service on my machines, but your videos make me confident when the time comes. Please keep doing this series, all the way though major cylinder/crank/piston replacements would be a great resource for the community

Appreciate these videos!

Ohhhhh, I love the idea of this “quick & dirty” series. You take the scary out of turning the wrenches to keep our PPG rigs tuned to fly.

Great video. After how many hours should we replace the 3 lower springs?

Is it possible to make an electric/dual start version from a hand start only? by swapping parts?

Excellent detailed instruction. Always so much simpler after seeing it done.
