Looks at speed of magneto crankshaft, engine timing, impulse coupling, and "shower of sparks" system. Tips on timing a magneto to the engine. Schematics for typical magnetos. (1) Impulse coupler starting system. (2) Shower of sparks starting system. How to time the Slick magneto when used on VW-based engines in homebuilt aircraft. Includes a simple, inexpensive magneto timing buzzer. Magneto timing checker runs on four AA cells. How to check magneto synchronization. Breaker points. Troubleshooting those mechanical switches found in magnetos that must open-and-close 80-120 times per second. Magneto coils. What you should know in order to troubleshoot this vital component. Troubleshooting a dirty magneto which is a likely cause of preignition leading to damaged valves. Tip on checking for excessive wear of S4LN-20 series nylon distributor gears. Understanding how magnetos work is critical to operating and maintaining them. Procedure for setting the internal timing of magnetos. Breaker point adjustment, replacement, troubleshooting, etc. Routine inspection tips for magnetos. Mag timing. How to check and adjust magneto timing. Troubleshooting engine "kickback" caused by an intermittent ground connection after upgrading to new-series Slick magnetos. Slick handling. Removing, re-installing and retiming Slick magnetos. Secrets of the Bendix Dual Magneto (D-2000 and D-3000). Part 1. Secrets of the Bendix Dual Magneto (D-2000 and D-3000). Part 2. Anyone can time a magneto. Checking timing is a simple procedure and requires few tools. Troubleshooting tips for a Bendix dual magneto that operates correctly at low speeds and low voltage outputs, but not at higher settings. Circuit for a magneto synchronizer is built using Radio Shack components. Est. cost: $15. Switch wiring arrangement that will sound a buzzer whenever a magneto is left on after the engine is shut down. Magneto timing checker is assembled from ordinary Radio Shack parts. Est. cost: $5. Electrical switch options for magnetos and starters. Both toggle switches and key switches (rotary switches) are discussed. | |||||||||
