Jud, I had to leave last night and couldn't elaborate on the prop pull.....Bendix mags have a CW and a CCW timing mark (easy to switch about three or four teath off) although that doesn't count for the same exact mag drop as you had to begin with....I'm still looking at a crack in the distributor ho...

Jud, something I just thought about......see if when you pull the prop through for number one...... are the leads for number one sparking at about the sane time? of course I'm not counting for the lag in the timing but they should spark at the same prop pull not several pulls later......

Jud, I hate to reiterate....but as I said on page one or two of the last thread.....IT'S THE MAG...we had a newly rebuilt mag come from Tulsa, for the Prat 1340 I was flying this summer....hung it and it run like crap...got another mag from a neighboring company, hung it and finished the rest of the...

I'm with Bruce on this thread....and by the way, Bruce I will try to contain myself in the future....and not use words like (STOLEN) It IS a heavy word

Thats why you never air clean a bearing by letting it (spin) with out luberation, you can gall the (race) and bearings in a heart beat... fast enough that it will come apart when it was fine just before you spun it.....

Jud, Haven't heard if you found your problem with the switch change. did it work? if so cool....By the way...the only way to do a mag check is with the engine at idle.....switch the mag switch to off....just long enough to see that the engine is going to die then back to both.....nothing else works ...

Soooo....... where did the original problem on this thread go......and is it fixed?

Ole pokey, As I'm sure you already know the only paper work you need on your AC is AROW (airworthiness cert, registration, operators manual, and weight and balance) As George and Richard pointed out the real Knowledge needed is that you, and every one else in this forum, understand what each part or...

I wouldn't burn mogas with out at least 1/4 100 LL in it, to stabilaze the crap that we put in our cars....shelf life is something like two months ....thats when you order it with out ethanol, and thats another charge,out here.....

Don't get me wrong, Bruce, I love it....

Gotcha Jud.....I missed something in the p-lead switch reading.

John, I'm not following.....what are you trying to say?..........

On the idea of doing a hi-tension test......it will also show a crack in the distributor housing....where if you are using the same mag and it wasn't found.....there could be your problem. I usually like to order overhauled-exchange parts for mags and carbs when I have a problem.....simply because t...

Oh, George that is really simple and SWEET.....Altow a good wind could cost you a lens

My last post went away 8O ....so I'll try again...I am with Bruce on this....If the problem didn't travel with the P-lead change It seams the switch isn't an issue..... also it is improbable, but not impossible to get a bad harness off the shelf, I meant earlier to ask if you did a Hi-tension test o...
