    Subject: Electroair ignition
    Greetings: I have an HIO-360-B1A installed on an RV6 with dual Electroair igns. This is a recent "upgrade" from a '90s Electroair version that worked beautifully... well, until it didn't. Anyway, the new version's magnetic timing sensors are apparently more sensitive to some ill-defined variation that Electroair tells me is causing the controller to "reset" -- meaning the ignition shuts off for some fraction of a second. Not noticeable above 900 RPM or so... other than I know it's there. Below 900 RPM there is a noticeable drop and much below that with just the single ignition selected the engine will quit completely. This is only on one side -- the other works as advertised. My local A&P has looked over the mag drive gears and finds absolutely nothing wrong. So Electroair is telling me nothing's wrong with the ignition and my A&P is telling me nothing's wrong with engine... but I still have a problem. Anybody out there with a similiar experience? Or experience with the "modern" version of Electroair? Thanks, Dennis Virginia Beach, VA

    Dennis, First off I take you have one of the purple units now. Did the pickups change? Do you have the crank trigger or the magneto hole housing? What gap are you running on the pickups? What size of pickups, 3/8" or 1/2"? What was wrong with your original unit? Regards, Bob Japundza RV-6 flying F1 under const.
