A stuck throttle and strong winds aloft made for an interesting return flight.

That o-ring would have been installed by the carb manufacturer though. I was under the impression that there maybe alchohol in the fuel that could have done that. I can't wait for the update.

15:15 I once had a low altitude engine out in a C-172. Had to make an emergency landing on a highway just south of San Antonio, TX. Honestly the most greased landing I have ever made.

Hey Tucker! Great incident follow and briefing! How are your lock wire skills? If none, please get an A&P mechanic to show you how to do it right! You need to go around and lock wire all your springs from being able to slip off regardless of o-ring position or whatever fail mode that can and will happen. While you are at it, get all your bolts lock wired as well. I seem to remember you mentioning an exhaust manifold coming loose and an air box as well. These are all classic aviation problems that are resolved with lock wire or lock straps. Your ultra light aviation needs to step up it’s design and build standards!

[@akpilot5510]

Speaking as a test pilot with 30 years in the business, TG should have landed at the departure airport as soon as he noticed that malfunction. Proceeding on the flight was poor aeronautical decision making. If you want to live long enough to tell your grandchildren of your aerial exploits, you have to learn to presume that a malfunctioning throttle could just be the tipoff to a carburetor malfunction that might lead to an engine fire which might burn through the parachute lines. Fortunately it all worked out, but many pilots have learned too late that you should always assume it's worse than you think.

[@knunyabeasewhacks8744]

[@christopherwhull]

Perhaps you are over stating it a bit. Your talking about an aircraft with a carb for a lawn tractor or small outboard and the lack of a captive return spring shows it. If it was a backpack setup exactly the same, fly until upwind or suitable field, fight for the field during the glide and time the last circuit with as close to normal approach to the best of your abilities. If it was a light aircraft the combo of the prop and mixture control and the mag switch are wonderful things for a hung throttle. In fact alot of early aircraft were depowered by mixture and mag/timing setting. Hung open throttle is not typically a fire risk on a small engine, it is a hung throttle and any smoke or smell will be seen in the clearing turn. Most of us had that minibike that would at some point in the day after so much grime and dumps into the mud had 2 speeds, tapping the kill switch, half choke or hang on to get back to the barn. Wide open and running until upwind of the airfield was exactly the right choice IMO, fight for the empty field or airport cause it beats suburbia power lines and fences, that motor will run wide open for as long as there is fuel and has oil on its bearings. Knowing the approximate no thrust sight picture is priceless. That is what should be commented about. Landing flare was timed perfect, rollout was less than walking pace, next to assistance if it was not perfectly on the wheels.

[@Duciousness]

I don't think you've watched the other videos or even have any paragliding experience TBH. He does these kind of landings all the time, even without the engine working.

An engine stuck on with power greater than idle, offers a much more challenging situation. Especially if the kill switch is also dead. Every time I see something like this I tell myself I need to rig up an emergency kill cord to my spark plug.

[@lost4468yt]

@@EBangtson1 Most small aircraft are designed to have the throttle fully open on failure. It's on purpose with the idea being at least you can get out of a dangerous situation if you're in one, while an engine which fails off might put you in a dangerous position.

Push-pull throttles started becoming standard on motorcycles in the late 70's to address the "stuck open" failure mode. If you had a push-pull throttle in this situation you would've been able to move the throttle lever in reverse to close the butterfly valve.

Tucker is the world’s most level-headed guy and still has a sense of humour. Btw, that spring/washer/o-ring setup looked incredibly cheap and nasty, like something you might find on a lawnmower.

You must be level headed if your landing dead stick with an aircraft like this.

[@Simmons2358]

Unless the carburetor sees high temperatures during use (which it shouldn't, otherwise all the gaskets would get cooked) I believe o-rings made of NITRILE ( Buna-N ) should be used. Also, o-rings actually seal better if the transition points between surfaces define a 90-degree angle, not a curved transition to match the shape of the o-ring. But that would be a carb port design issue if such is the fundamental problem. Nothing you could do about that. By the way, the new carb will eventually fail the same way at some point. A redesign of the plate (or similar component) that holds the o-ring in place is needed.

I once had a similar O-ring go all "fat" in a CO2 bike pump, which made it impossible to seat.

Still, high pressure and super-cold temperature definitely had something to do with initiating the failure.

[@angeloc3842]

I’ve seen those O rings swell using different chemicals to clean carburetors.

A bit odd to have a Red O-ring which could indicate Silicon. That would explain the swelling. I'd expect to see either a Brown or Black O-ring in there. Will be interesting to see what color O-rings are installed in the other Walbro's.

My nephew, his girlfriend, and I were taking a jet to Vegas for a business trip, and about two hours into the flight the pilot activated the intercom and said there would be a 30-minute delay as he had to turn off one engine that was not operating correctly. Which was OK, the jet has 3 engines (2 now) and we were arriving at around 8:00am and had a meeting a 10:00am so plenty of time to get to the hotel then the meeting. About 30 minutes later the pilot said that a second engine had failed but not to worry that the plane can maintain altitude and land with one engine but that there would be a 1-hour delay. I think to myself: "That sucks, time is getting close now." Well, about 30 minutes later the pilot announced: "We have just lost the 3rd engine." I said to my nephew: "Great.

Bahahahaha 🤣🤣

You can get any o ring generically by searching the OD/ID & thickness and type, make yourself a maintenance, repair kit on the trike of all the small failure points, also create a system where as say a spring failure etc the throttle can be operated without or even a secondary option. Like let’s say a resivour of fuel after the tank pump in case the pump fails that could gravity feed for some time as a option.

Emergency Meeting! That dear is suspect. He was faking tasks. Maybe I have been playing to much Among Us.

[@andreasjung3612]

Holy crap, a tiny swollen o-ring can put your life in danger and the company is not even able to exchange it, they send you new carburator instead. Well, this kind of attitude does not necessarily promotes quality control and attention to details. 'Who cares about an o-ring, if we can replace a cheap carburator'. This is scary as hell...

Tucker, I Watched This Video for A Second Time And You Seem To Be A Most Professional, Experienced, Capable & "Seasoned" Pilot. I've Never Been Paramotoring, Nor Do I Have The Knowledge & Experience, But I Have To Say That I Would Feel VERY Comfortable Going "Tandem" With You. I Thoroughly Enjoyed This Video!

15:10 Like the other folks and I try to do in Microsoft Flight Sim, steam version .... It's like butter. That landing bro. The takeoffs and landings are the pinnacle of the whole experience. LIKE BUTTER. You all were spot on, WELL DONE!!!!!

It’s crazy to imagine that he parked the parachute trike from hundreds of feet off the ground so smoothly. Parachutes really work

The old world war one rotary engines used to kill the ignition intermittently to get the power down...they would not idle low enough.

[@hlf_coder6272]

Well, thanks to you Tucker, I just signed up at Aviator PPG for a course in April. A few months ago KZbin randomly suggested your McDonald's video to me, and paramotoring immediately got under my skin. So after getting all the details worked out, I just put the deposit down. (And made sure to select you as the person I heard about them from). Totally stoked

16:40, There could be a groove or a raised notch to prevent that spring end from sliding over the edge.

You did a good job -- when issues occur " Fly the aircraft " which you did . On a PPC the default setting is idle making a quick landing mandatory. Now -- please do get some sort of eye protection for you GF when she ( or anyone ) is in the front seat . Even at our rag wing speeds a bug in the eye can cause big issues . N40 PPCer

[@Flyby-1000]

Great troubleshooting Tucker!!! May I make a small suggestion to help prevent that from happening again?!?! Grab a small narrow file and file in a small groove or lip on the throttle body just enough for the spring to rest in just as a little added "stay put" security...
