I purchased ?one of the green mags. Exact same as a/c mag but more affordable
and flying great.

They're surplus industrial mags that are green instead of black but are
otherwise the same and have been machined to fit the Diehl case.?? Thanks

I think you'll find most aftermarket ignition systems use a wasted spark
system. The Emags on my O-200 do, as do the Light Speed and EFI ignition
systems.
I just pulled the NGK plugs out of my O-200 last weekend. Took a look at them
and put them back in again. They look like new at 100 hrs
Thanks Mark for the idea about putting foil over the Tiny Tach sensor
wire where it wraps around the lead. I didn't run a new ground but just
tightened up the wraps and cut a piece of aluminum tape and covered the
wraps and the Tiny Tach is back to normal. This the first time that

Yes, I think most motorcycle ignitions use the "wasted spark" sys
It's not a design fault, it's called a "wasted spark" ignition. Plug
fires every revolution of the crank, even on the exhaust cycle. It's
common on British bikes as well.

Back in my early working days I was called to a customer's factory to sell them
a new paper cutter. I thought I would be selling to an in-house printshop. My
jaw dropped when I stepped into a giant room where HP made it's transformers
and coils, and found hundreds of ladies at tables spinning fi

Good luck with that! Those are the most finicky electrical devices I've
ever had to deal with. Mine read all
Years ago I raced motorcycles and OEM Japanese coils were notoriously
cheesy, some brands of bikes worse than others. I never raced new bikes
so they all had some time (but in many cases, not much time) on them
when I got them. After some frustrating issues I made it a practice to
replace coils
I've had a miss in the secondary ignition for awhile and didn't know
which cylinder was missing. I haven't been too concerned about tracking
it down since normally both the mag and the electronic ignition systems
are on and the engine runs smooth as silk. I finally decided to address
this mystery
