Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Magnetos:  a heads-up
From: teamgrumman@aol.com


I got a new 4371 magneto last week, 02/07 manufacture's date.

After I tightened the nut to about 30 inch-lbs (it's supposed to be 120 
to 320 in-lbs) I was unable to move the impulse coupling body to trip 
the impulse coupler.  It was as though the entire impulse coupler was 
locked up.  I swapped out the impulse coupling body with the old one 
and it still didn't work.  I tried a different washer and nut, still 
locked up.  So, I started measuring the pilot shaft and associated 
parts.  The pilot shaft on the new mag was about .040 higher.  When the 
nut is snugged up, the washer locks the pilot shaft to the gear.

I called LyCon and asked if they'd seen it and was told they'd had a 
few (4371s) recently that are not right.
