| Subject: | Re: Ignition Points |
Dave,
Did you happen to take any photos of the points before you repaired them?
It would have been nice to see precisely what you had found and then how you
repaired them. Before the mag check when the engine practically quit, did
any previous mag checks either on the ground or in the air give you any
abnormal indication?
Thanks
Dennis

Sorry, no pics. How did I know you would ask for them? Will do better. The engine
runups had bee OK in the #1 position,but slightly rough. I suppose the engine
was talking to me. Just not shouting. The factory staking of the contact was
very rudimentary. It could be improved upon.
My suggestion is to priodically check contacts for security.

Based on what you saw, if you had a spare set of points would you say that
replacing the set would have been the correct repair?

Actually, I do have a spare set of points, but in the interest of conservation,
curiosity, and no real danger we proceeded as described.
