-with the replacment cost of 514/577$ repectively
and the overhaul parts only cost of 887/1189$. for overhaul these things ar
e throwaway. now for the five hundred inspection the t100 tooling kit is 43
2 dollars. the only time you need the full kit is for twin points so say 50
$ in special tools
-
next most people will charge about 200 to 250$ to go through one of these p
lus what ever parts are required.so lets say you just want to give it tune
up points cap condensor and rotor- = 415 dollars worth of parts alone s
o with labor you already 100.00$ over new cost. what most of my customers d
ue is inspect at every hundred/annual and throwaway at 750 or at any signs
of damage.
-
point kit- 40.00
condensor 97.00
bearings 126.00
bearing cap 64.00
coil 266
impluse coupling 302.00
rotor gear 8.00
oil seal 8.00
distributor block and gear 278.00
-
since an impluse coupling failure means a very expensive engine overhaul it
is your call about inspect or replace at the five hundred
-

let me tell you a recent story about a set of slicks on an io-520
at about 420 hr on the mags the owner complained to another shop that he ha
d high egts on climb out. for the next eighty hours they fiddle fart around
with the bird including a full fuel system overhaul for the price of 7500.
00$ still no luck fixing it. at 510 on the mags the owner experiences a twi
n mag failure a barely limps it to the field. after both mags are replace t
he egt problem goes away. eighty hours later the right mags burns up, then
started the saga of the sb-03. inspected the new mag after 10 hrs run found
out that it was already eating the brush and the left had not been built r
ight from the factory, excessive clearance on the coil tab, replace the lef
t mag. so in 600 hrs we have gone through 4 mags and had three in flight fa
ilures. changed the brushes to the aero assy. brush to stop the inspections
. and now plan to only open then at every annual. if you fly with slicks an
d especially if you fly high open them up every annual.

Are you suggesting the mags should be thrown away after 500 hours?- It is
n=A2t clear in your message.
Thanks

slick mags 500 hr inspection.
-at a minimum you should change the points and cam, relube,check the cond
ensor
inspect the distributor and change the brush. inspect the impluse coupling.
and rotor bearings.
-
the problem with a slick is the cost of the parts and the bench check requi
red after tear down makes them basically a throwaway mag. for a certified a
ircraft at least.

Mojo (She's a good girl!) is approaching her 500-hour check-up and I've bee
n trying to determine the maintenance needs for her Slick 4370 & 4371 magne
tos.- Research has led to a lot of info regarding HOW to do lots of stuff
, but not necessarily what NEEDS to be done regarding checking points, rebu
ild etc.- Her timing has always been spot-on, but I'm concerned about mak
ing sure she stays in perfect health.
