Dennis Savarese" Subject: Re: Yak-List: 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?

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. David H.
