Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: M14PEngines-List: Slick Start --> M14PEngines-List message posted by: "A. Dennis Savarese" The standard booster coil will not work with M9-35 mags as they do not have rotors with two fingers because they are centrifugal advance. Timing on the -35 mags is set to approx. 5 degrees AFTER TDC depending on the number stamped in the boss of the mag under the cover. Standard M9-F mags are set to 14-16 degree BEFORE TDC and have rotors with two fingers in them. One finger is used strictly for the starting coil.

The -35's with centrifugal advance was/is suppose to replace the starting coil since the starting coil fired the front plugs from the left mag a few degrees after TDC the same way the -35's are timed in the first place.

But I was also under the impression that the -35 had some sort of interrupter in the p lead that allowed the standard boost coil to work on those mags too. Of course just something I read and could have miss-interpreted.

Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: M14PEngines-List: Slick Start --> M14PEngines-List message posted by: "A. Dennis Savarese" The start/booster coil always went into the magneto cap. The purpose of the P lead is to simply apply a ground to shut down the magneto. Remove the P lead and the mag will never shut down. That ground goes directly to the coil and both the -35 and -F mags use the same coil.

What he meant in the article was that the -35 had an interrupter in the p-lead that grounded out the mag 100s of times a second, simulating what the slick start does - if that makes sense, not that the boost went into the P ground. It was something George Coy had published. Scott -----Original Message----- From: owner-m14pengines-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-m14pengines-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of A.

However, this is at low to medium power settings that are at atmospheric pressure or lower MP. Above 30" will not be leaner as the intake tube pressure is greater than outside the airplane and the fuel/air mixture will flow out the open valve.

On the order of what you can hold in a soda straw with your finger on top of it. We have actually removed the line you refer to and have found the amount of oil to be about 1/3 of the total internal volume of that hose. Just a few Cc's.
