Subject: | Excessive R Mag Drop |
Hi Guys,
My lovely M9F (okay, "Phi", but I don't have that key on this
keyboard...<VBG>) magnetos (mounted on a Yak-55M) seem to have developed
an issue, and I need some help toubleshooting it. The problem is an
excessive mag drop on the right (#2) mag. Mag checks done between 60%
and 65% yield a 2.5-2.9% drop on the Left mag (#1) and (initially) a
9.5-9.9% drop on the Right (#2). Here is what I have done so far and the
effect:
1) Replaced the plugs (NGK BR7HS gapped at 0.25). No effect. N.B., the
ignition wires are US 8 mm automotive wires and are just over 18 months old.
2) Checked the point gap (and cleaned everything in the top of the mag
with Isopropanol). Gap correct at 0.3 mm. No effect.
3) Reset the distributor rotor to full "aft" (i.e., opposite the
direction of rotation) position. No effect.
4) Reset distributor rotor to mid-position. Decreased drop on Right mag
to about 8.5%.
5) Reset distributor rotor to full "forward" position (i.e., in
direction of rotation). Decreased drop on Right mag to about 7.7-7.9%.
This is the best that I can get. Obviously, this isn't good enough...
Any ideas on what the problem is and (more importantly to me), what the
solution is? Preferably without recourse to "buy a new mag"...
I'm stumped.
Thanks,
Scott Poehlmann
