One thing that is oft overlooked is the shielding on the P leads.  Those
shields must be grounded at the mag switch and the mag switch to the
airframe.

If you shut the mags off at 2000 RPM, do not turn them back on while the
engine is still spinning [fast] as the exhaust will be full of gas fumes and
you can blow it clean off the airplane.  You can purge the fumes by spinning
the engine (mags off) slowly with the throttle wide open.
