I don't have the prop on yet so I can't turn the engine over and listen for the tell-tale snap. I'd rather not remove the mag or turn the engine over with the starter until the airplane is completely finished. Can I get impulse coupling information from the Mag serial/model numbers or otherwise figure this out by looking at the mag when installed on the engine? Thanks.

Werner" Dear Dean, If you have two mags (one with-/one without I.C.), then one should stick out further from the accessory case than the other (normally the left mag) due to the additional width of an adapterplate/spacer which is necessary for the extra space needed for the Impulse Coupling. If both are the same distance, then you either have NO Impulse Coupling, or you have two (but I daubt it!).

(look close and compare the two). The following link has an exploded view of the mag and IC (but does not show the spacer) https://robertscarbrepair.com/piccategory.asp?id=300 -----Original Message----- From: owner-engines-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-engines-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Konrad L.
