Hello!
The Jabiru manual doesn't say much about the mag wiring. On each of my coils, there
is a 1/4" faston tab. I have 20awg shielded wire for each ignition. I've
read through the Book and understand when the mags are ungrounded, they are hot.
Flipping the mag switch off completes the ground ground and kills the mag.
I've attached a doc that shows what I understand and what I don't. Quotes are from
Bob's book in Note 3 of the Z appendix, I believe:
1. "Attach the shield to one and only one switch terminal at the cockpit end..."
How do I do this? I can strip off the outer insulation and expose the braided shield.
For a 20awg wire, using a 16awg stripper is about right. That's about as
far as my brain will take me. Seems like I would splice the outer braid to a
wire, and connect that wire via faston to terminal #2 of the switch. Another
faston would go on the inner wire and connect to terminal #3. I just don't know
how.
2. "Attach the shield to engine ground at the magneto end."
The drawing shows shield going to one spot on the ignition and the inner wire going
to another. I have just the faston tab of the coil. How is this done?
