Thanks for the info. Questions: - What's the process for dressing the points? - Why shouldn't one use a points file? Interested YAKsters want to know. THANKS! John Coffey Yak-55m Seattle, WA -----Original Message----- [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Walter Lannon Sent: Monday, June 19, 2006 11:16 PM --> Yak-List message posted by: "Walter Lannon" --> Larry; You definitely need some help. There are two distinct steps in setting magneto timing; 1. Internal timing of the mag ("e" gap setting) and 2. Installation and adjustment of firing angle on the engine. Internal timing can be done with the mag on or off the engine. If installed find top dead center on the compression stroke of #4 piston (BUT - before doing any of this remove ALL front spark plugs). You can do this with a small wooden dowel or similar to show piston position once you have established with your thumb that you are on the compression stroke. finger is pointing at the timing index mark on the mag housing. The mag is now in position to check and adjust the internal timing. (off the engine you would simply turn the mag by hand in the arrow direction). Either disconnect the primary lead at each mag or turn the mag switches on both. Mags are now live - the primary reason for removing all front plugs. Clean the points with a lint free cloth and small brush using acetone or MEK, etc. No petroleum solvents. Do not manually open points more than 1/16". If there is any evidence of arcing the points may need dressing. If so do NOT use a point file (or any file). If necessary let me know and I will go through the process with you. By turning the prop set the point rubbing block on the center of the cam lobe with the distributor finger pointing to the timing index. Check the point clearance. It should be 0.3 mm (.012"). The tolerance is 0.25 to 0.35mm (.010" to .014"). If outside those limits adjust to exactly 3mm. Carefully move the tab locks, loosen the retaining screw and set the clearance with the adjusting screw. Tighten the retaining screw and tab lock both. Attach your timing light (you should have an aircraft unit with two lights to facilitate synchronization in the final step) to the point spring post and an engine ground. Rotate the prop backwards about 40 degs. and then forward slowly ( this is necessary to take up gear backlash every time you check point opening) until the light is on (points just opened). Do this a number of times until you are sure of the initial opening point. With a straightedge (6" rule works fine) check alignment of the leading distributor finger to the timing index. Acceptable tolerance is +/- 1/16" but with the gap at 3 mm it should be right on. If necessary the distributor rotor may be adjusted by loosening the 3 screws and rotating to align the finger. The mag is now internally timed and ready for mating to the engine. Under no circumstances is it acceptable to change the point gap as a means of "fine tuning" for timing to the engine. That is step 1 but I am out of time so will try to finish tomorrow night.

"We gotta get rid of these turbines, they are ruining aviation. We need to go back to big round engines. Anybody can start a turbine, you just need to move a switch from "OFF" to "START," and then remember to move it back to "ON" after a while. My PC is harder to start. Cranking a round engine requires skill, finesse and style. On some planes, the pilots aren't even allowed to do it. Turbines start by whining for a while, then give a small lady-like poot and start whining louder. Round engines give a satisfying rattle-rattle, click-click, BANG, more rattles, another BANG, a big macho fart or two, more clicks, a lot of smoke and finally a serious low pitched roar. We like that. It's a blokey thing. (read guy thing) When you start a round engine, your mind is engaged and you can concentrate on the flight ahead. Starting a turbine is like flicking on a ceiling fan: Useful, but hardly exciting. Turbines don't break often enough, leading to aircrew boredom, complacency and inattention. A round engine at speed looks and sounds like it's going to blow at any minute. This helps concentrate the mind. Turbines don't have enough control levers to keep a pilot's attention. There's nothing to fiddle with during long flights. Turbines smell like a Boy Scout camp full of Coleman lanterns. Round engined planes smell like God intended flying machines to smell. I think I hear the nurse coming down the hall. I gotta go." -- ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 08:46:37 PM PST US From: "ROBERT SCHWARTZ" Subject: Re: Yak-List: Turbine/Radials --> Yak-List message posted by: "ROBERT SCHWARTZ" Besides if we didn't have radials, what would we do with all of those oil buckets !!!!!
