Photo: The Bloop engine is a 25 horsepower Vittorazi Moster 185 (185 cubic centimeters displacement) with its 1.3 meter (diameter) carbon composite propeller, a modern paramotor system. The translucent plastic fuel tank will hold 2-1/2 gallons of aviation gasoline mixed with synthetic oil. The combination air filter and inlet silencer is the big light brown bulb mounted on the carburetor. The red spot on the carburetor is where I attached the magneto groundng wire onto an engine bracket and taped it over. The prop tends to get oily because it passes through the exhaust stream, which still has a lot of oil in it that was mixed into the fuel. The utility bag mounted on the back of the seat is useful for stowing small tools, lubricant, hats, cameras, and so forth. One spark plug, one cylinder, one carburetor, and a pull rope for starting. The butterfly carburetor includes a fuel pump so the gas tank can be located below the engine. There is no float bowl, the fuel system is sealed except for the static port on the fuel tank.
