My torque wrench is a 1/4 snap-on from my railroad days (late 60's). I just
talked to my local snap-on rep & he'll rebuild & recalibrate it for free.
Gotta love those guys.

| Subject: | Bad mag check 912UL |
I have a 912 UL on my Kitfox and have had a persistent problem I can't seem
to pin down. The right mag is having a persistent drop of about 800 rpm running
rough and the engine is even quitting (when mag switch is in right mag only)
I have an elderly engine with the A module on top.( 180 hrs tt) When I
wiggle the 4 pole plug receptacle and the red power wire then I will get my mag
back for a little while (until I start it again and do the runup then it will
misfire again. I have stripped back the short black wire protective cover at the
module and have slit open three of the wires I found "kinked" expecting to
find breaks but they were all intact. This morning I am going to reinstall
the plug and try trouble shooting the red module power wires.I have already
replaced the "p" leads and the mag switch.( they check good with an ohmeter)
Is there any way to test the wires for a break (or breaks) without running
the engine? Electric's are my absolute weakest area and I am having a real
struggle with this.
Any ideas? Am I going down the right trail?
Thanks

If you are going to strip down to re-torque everything you may as well
inspect the seals/O rings as you go.
Have fun and let us know when it's running properly.

TCP and Decalin render the lead soft and pasty but not soluble.
100LL burned without these products produces harder, crusty lead
which is harder to clean off plugs and valves.
The crusty lead now at the bottom of your crankcase is now there
until you scrape it off (good luck!), but will probably not harm anything
by its presence.

Hi Dick,
You can do an ohm meter check through the wires from the coils to just before to
module. This will tell you if the coils are ok. I don't have a manual handy
so I don't know what the values are. This doen't sound like a coil problem. Is
your engine old enough to have just one ignition module? It sounds like it could
be a bad wire in the plug socket just before the module. IF you can wiggle
the wires and they work then you most likely just have a bad connection and
possibly in the socket. At an 800 rpm drop you are losing one complete ignition
bank or 4 plugs. You can get an AC power tester for about $12 and since the
plugs produce AC power the tester will show you which wires from the ignition
coils to the plugs are firing and which are not. Picture attached. This tester
can also find bad plugs and plug wires if you are only dropping 300 rpm. You
just need to get the tester near the wire or touch the wire. If the module is
bad wiggling the wires should not help. That's why I think it is just a bad connection
since you can wiggle the wire and make it work until vibration loosens
the connection again.
