| Subject: | Slick magneto maintenance |
Hi everyone.
When I got my Lycoming IO-540, the Slick magnetos it came with (66LR37SCNN and
66LP-0SCNN) were already bolted on, timing set, etc., so I've been treating them
as something of a black box that I haven't wanted to fiddle with as they work
well. But that's hardly the right attitude to have for an experimental aircraft
:-) In particular, from what I understand, the magneto breaker points should
be checked periodically (perhaps more should be inspected too), as well
as engine timing, etc. And precious little (ie: no) documentation came with them.
Is there a document or information somewhere that describes exactly how to do this?
Hopefully some (or most) can be done without actually removing the magnetos
themselves. Though eventually, I know they're going to have to be pulled,
and when that happens I'd rather have in my pocket the right way to put them
back.
Thanks!
Dan
