[MAGIC VAC]

----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- Since you kill a Coupe by turning off the Mags, the below warning doesn't seem valid.  If one or both of the mags were staying hot, the engine wouldn't die in the first place.   Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: Percy Wood To: William R.

I might also add that turning the switch off and back on (at very low RPM, or idle) is an excellent (but occasional) post flight exercise.  The motor should die, then spring back to life.  This checks the P-lead to be sure the switch is acturlly grounding the mags.                Percy in Portland ============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
