I don't think so. It's supposed to be rated for 10A, and I was only
pulling 5.1A through it, and one just like it (bought at the same time
from AS&S) powered the same system on N56ML for all that time with zero

Hi Netters,
Thanks Dean for the offer about "that" ignition.At present I have a Bosch 009
type imported from Great Plains Aircraft which is excellent.I do however wish
to install a secondary system and I need a wiring diagram to make sure.Please

Well guys, the smoking gun on my ignition problems has been found. Last
weekend, at the request of William Wynne, I removed my distributor and shipped
it to him next day air for him to test my distributor on his machine. What was
found was that the shaft was worn extensively at the upper bushing

The old lawnmower ignition is called "magneto"

Try this on for size for a modern spin on the "old lawn mower" ignition.
Ready to install for VW guys, and I am sure not too hard to adapt to other

Ken,
The wider plug gap will cause the voltage to build to a higher value before the
plug fires. This in turn releases more peak RF energy in a shorter time when
the plug fires. This produces a much stronger RF pulse; not good if you want
the best radio communications in the aircraft band, but

The auto plugs should have an R in the number. These are the resistor version
of the standard plugs and will greatly reduce radio interference (Rotax changed
their plugs to resistor type for this reason). If all else fails, buy some
metal braid that is used for grounding straps, etc. Put it o

A power filter can be fitted to the power bus of the radio stack. You can see
similar devices attached to most car stereo power leads for just this reason.
Ken,
A brute force line filter at the power inlet of the radio stack is great
insurance. Then it's not important to have a shielded power wire.
The ignition noise can be getting into the radio on the power wire or on the
antenna. One quick check is to have the engine running and disconnect t
For those of u that responded, Joe at Revmaster said what did I gap the

If you are going to use 100LL especially, running both plugs will not only give
