Aircraft Magneto TroubleShoot
Aircraft magneto not firing
For a magneto to "cut off completely" the primary current must not
be interrupted; this may happen if the points aren't opening , the capacitor
is shorting to ground, the "p" lead terminal end is not attached
correctly to the back of the magneto, the "p" lead is grounded, the
external noise filter is shorted internally to ground.
For Slick magnetos make sure you haven't timed the magneto 180 degrees off by
sticking the timing pin in the incorrect hole in the distributor cap.
