One pole of a magnet will turn it off and the other will turn it on. The flywheel had two magnet in it one reversed from the other. It is important that the ss461 be properly oriented in the sensor so that the coil will fire on the proper magnet. The faceted side of the device with the number should face out.

I'm not flying yet and both ignitions were working with no problems until last weekend. I've removed the flywheel pickup, hook it to 12V source and tried to move a magnet in front of it. When close to the sensor the voltage drops to 0V but when I move the magnet far away it will remain 0V. I've ordered the replacement sensor (with 10K 1/8W resistor) you've recommended but the same result. What am I doing wrong? I have a dual distributor pickup setup "Dual Dizzy" with relay switch power inputs but I'd still like to keep the "magneto" ignition as well. -------- Pavel CA Zodiac 601XL Stratus Subaru EA-81 Tail, flaps, ailerons, wings, fuselage, canopy done ...
