I've not much to add to the replies you've had so far except to to echo Peter J's remark about how tricky it can be to set the switch sensitivity. The point between not working and working is very fine and can only really be done in flight. I had the same issue on mine at its initial permit testing and after changing the switch (which didn't help really) i found a way to extend the pipework and wiring so that the switch could be easily set from the P2 position [i put the switch behind the parcel tray moulding and drilled a hole through it to enable a watchmakers screwdriver to go into the switch]. Andy D then flew the aircraft close to 5kt above the stall whilst i adjusted the switch until it sounded. It took a few attempts. In case its useful, and whilst it does not compete with this bulletin board, there is also a Facebook page for Europa owners you might also find useful ATB Clive Sutton G-YETI Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=497895#497895 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:54:50 AM PST US Subject: Re: Europa-List: Stall Warner From: DAVID JOYCE Smart ass is an excellent piece of kit, personally I use the aforementioned and stall strips, works very well David JoyceThe other one BXGG ------ Original Message ------ From: "Kevin Challis" Sent: Friday, 21 Aug, 20 At 07:11 Subject: Re: Europa-List: Stall Warner Smartass better than a stall Warner in my opinion.

I have a turbo 80hp. So it started with a crackle in the deadset that rose and fell with engine power. This occurred in mid flight after a normal mag check. Prior to this the Dynon Skyview had been without abnormal noise. On landing I found that the switching off the left mag silenced the crackle and switching off the right mag made the engine run rough. The CDIs have two "in" connectors from the pick ups and two "out" connectors to the coils. So I swapped the "in" connectors between CDI and the "out" connectors. Also I tried to start the engine with only one CDI connected to one out connector. Both CDI work with both in-connectors but both only work with one "out" connector to the coils. When the CDI is connected to the "wrong" coil the engine wont start. This leads me to the conclusion that I have a problem between the CDI and the plugs. In other words I have a problem in the coil system or in the HT/plug area. Agreed? If so, what is my next step? How do I test the coils?
