John,
I had almost the exact same problem except the mag drop was about 350 rpm
on one side when checked at 4,000 rpm. What I found was that I had switched
the two top left plug wires. #2 went to #4 plug & #4 went to #2 plug. The surprise
was that it ran as well as it did with the plug wires reversed. Some idiot
(me) had mismarked the cylinders when pulling the wires off.

Hi There All,
Did the same as the length of the wire pushed me to switch them. On two mags
at least all cylinders are lighted at the right time, but with one mag one
cylinder is not lighted at the right time...

John,
I had a similar problem one time so I walked down the airport with my new
plugs to a friends hanger. He had a spark plug "bomb" checker as part of his
Champion spark plug cleaner unit. We checked the new plugs and sure enough,
one of them would not fire under air pressure. I threw that one in the bin
checked another and soon I was "back in business." So, you might have a bad
"new" plug.

Hi Bob.
Warning Lamps.
I have a small plastic reservoir for the engine coolant, I take it the unit is
a sealed radiator system, but I have noticed over a period of time the level has
gone down a little, is this normal.
Also why is there not a warning light which illuminates if the coolant level
is getting low.
Regards.
Alan

I found all plugs on the A side very black and sooty. Had perhaps 3 or 4 hours
total running time on them.
I trimmed the spark plug wires back 1/4-inch and reinstalled the boots, and made
absolutely certain the boots were correctly and well seated on the new spark
plugs that I just purchased and set to 0.027.
Have not yet run the engine..my time at the airport is very limited because I am
a care taker for my invalid wife, and I can only 'get away' for a few hours
at a time...tomorrow I hope to run the plane and see if I made any progress.
I appreciate the help I have been give more than you might expect.
John

Hi Alan,
Reasonably well over here. On the final stages of getting my Europa back in the
air after the fuel tank replacement. Have to do some engine ground run tests
tomorrow morning. Positive tests and weather permitting I might have it back
in the air on Sunday. Weather may go to poop on Sunday though. And is certain
forecast for poop on Monday. And I depart for Chennai, India on Tuesday.
Will be there for almost 4 weeks on business. Id like to have the Europa ready
to fly when I get back so I can have some fun and do some cross country travel.
Yes, Blinking lot to remember. Mostly remember that if they come on in flight
its a bad thing.
Not a bad idea to add to the emergency check list either.
As to the coolant levels. Yes, they seem to go down over time. Im not sure why.
Give me some recent flight time starting in late June and well see what we
come up with. As to a warning light for coolant level, I guess thatd be your
coolant or CHT temperature indicators.
Enjoy the good weather while you can!
Best,
Bob
