Regarding portable jack for tire(tyre) changing, I built something simple and lightweight
for my Kolb Slingshot which has an axle that extends inboard from the
axle fitting. Your airplane may have a different setup and might require a
different connection, but the principle is the same.
A block with an axle and two wheels, plus a removable handle for leverage. The
over-center characteristic is the key. Note in the short YouTube video I made
that I put the wedge (cut from the top, under the raised end to keep it from falling
if the airplane is accidentally pushed when on the jack.

The prototype shown in this video was made of simple pine board. It broke in time,
so it should be made of hardwood or other stronger material for durability.

If you make one and want to be able to use it on soft ground, take a small piece
of plywood with you for the over-center jack to sit/work on. Otherwise it will
just sink into soft surface.

Hello ALL
First off all its a Rotax 914 ignition system.
The" Mag Key Switch" is OFF>L>R>Both>Start.
There are 4 Mag Coils each having two HT leads going to the plugs.
The 4 Mag Coil Units are mounted all together on a bracket attached to the engine.
As far as i can make out, the:
TOP 2 Mag Coil Units go to the TOP Plugs.
BOTTOM 2 Mag Coil Units go to the BOTTOM Plugs.
Again as far as i can make out from the"Cockpit Mag Switch", Key at (L) goes to
the TOP Coils and TOP Plugs and with the Key at (R) goes to the BOTTOM Coils,and
BOTTOM Plugs.
Are you keeping up with this ! or am i confusing myself.
With the Key in position (L) which Two Coils Units are Working, ie Live and (sparking)
going to which plugs.?
Which Mag Drop am i Checking.?
I would say i am Checking the Left Mag which is the Top Coils Units going to the
Top plugs, and the Mag Drop i see is due to the Right Mag being off line.
But Hay,With the key at (L) Am i Grounding out the (Left) mag, so its the other
one,??which is live ? ie the (Right) mag that is working ??and i am seeing how
good it is.
Confusing , Sometimes things are not what they seem to be.
So which is it you Petrol Heads.
Requards.
Alan

Alan:
It is very simple. Don't overload yourself with too much info.
OFF = BOTH MAGs are Grounded.
L = Left = Left MAG is HOT -and Right MAG is Grounded.
R = Right = Right MAG is HOT - and Left MAG is Grounded.
BOTH = BOTH MAGS are HOT. NO MAGs are Grounded.
START = START the engine by Grounding the Right MAG and Turning ON the
Starter Motor.
The rule to remember is: MAGs are ALWAYS HOT.
The only way of removing a MAG from the system is to GROUND out the output
of the MAG... To electrical Ground.
NOW, of course I have to confuse things here just a bit. I have to ask you
and the gaggle a couple of questions:
Does Rotax use an IMPULSE Coupler on one MAG? Or...
Does Rotax use TWO IMPULSE Copuler's - One on each MAG?
I'll explain my question later.
