I should have said that there is no effect in cleraring up the problem, there is a slight drop on each mag just like there should be, But In the air and trying to get it back on the ground, I am not sure whether the drop was 75 or 100 RPM, what ever it was it was normal for a mag check. I assume that the P- leads are ok as I can turn off both mags (on the ground) and the engine will die.
