Cunningham) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 07:45:46 PM PST US Subject: Engines-List: RPM drop Problem From: "dennisvh" --> Engines-List message posted by: "dennisvh" I have a 1946 Ercoupe with a 85 HP (started as a 75HP) Continental engine with a 200 RPM drop on the right mag at run-up. Mechanics have 100% eliminated as the problem both mags, all plugs, P-leads, and switch. Also, the engine ran fine for 25 hours after a new ignition harness was installed. The new harness was checked out yesterday on the engine and appears to be ok on all wires. We don't where to go next. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks, Dennis Hatfield.

You didn't mention timing. A late mag will produce a big drop.
