Subject: | Re: Lycoming IO-320 D1A Engine Problem |
Just an update on my friends "engine problem."=C2-=C2- We started the e
ngine again yesterday and switched from both mags to left mag. The
engine ran as bad or worse than before, so that was pretty puzzling. After
some head scratching, I asked if I could sit in the plane and
start it, which I did. That was when I discovered the owner had the constan
t speed prop set on course pitch instead of fine pitch. When
I changed the prop setting, the engine ran great!=C2- Problem solved.
Thanks for all the input.

Charlie, yes it's possible. I just learned the RV-9A owner had to remove th
e right mag due to some sort of interference. I suspect he may not
have gotten it back in correctly. We're going to start the engine tomorrow
on both mags then see how it runs on just the left mag. Of course, if
the engine runs good on the L. mag, then we know the problem lies with the
right mag.

I'd like to suggest an additional possible problem to check. You say the ma
gs are timed correctly. Is it possible that one of the mags was timed 180 d
egrees from top dead center? Stranger things have happened.
