Hi All,
Thinking ahead.
I'll give this scenario and see if someone can tell me what the problem is and
where to look to solve it. I'll give it a day or two for answers then I'll give
the answer to the problem. I was called with this problem the other day and
it was solved in about 3 minutes.
You start your engine and go fly and everything seems normal. When you land and
turn off the key the engine keeps running at a very slow rpm and it looks and
sounds like it is running on one mag. What's wrong and where might you look to
find the problem?

to me, sounds like one of the mags can't be grounded anymore (I've had this happen
on one of my 2-strokes years ago).
I'd start with the kill switches/ignition switch. I.e. see if one of the leads
came loose. Then test the switch itself with a meter to see if it's closing properly.
I'd go from there, checking the wires and the grounds for continuity until
I got to the E box itself for broken ground leads, etc...
That'd be my first plan of attack anyway..
