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!
