Engine missing during mag check
From:

            I've noticed my engine missing during mag check.  It does not occur
      all the time, and it can occur on either mag or both.  My idle mixture has
      been set a bit to the rich side for easier starting in the winter.  This
      could certainly contribute and that is one of the first things that I will
      adjust.  Also noticed that my distributer caps are loose.  This was not the
      case when new. I'm going to inspect the rotors and add shims to eliminate
      the slack.  Has anyone else experienced mag check issues due to loose caps
      or rich idle mixture?
      
         Thanks in advance

      Hi Chuck,
      
      I've not experienced missing during mag checks and at under 110 hours 
      your caps and rotors should still be in good shape - notice the still.
      
      I put new caps and rotors on at 280 hours and noticed the new caps were 
      slightly loose (could be rocked back and forth) so I just took a few 
      swipes with a file on the ends of the aluminum L angles that holds on 
      the cap and has the cap screw pass through it for attachment.
      
      Worked well and engine, which had experienced rough rpm on take off the 
      previous flight, was as smooth as ever.
      
      cheers  jeff small
