Good to see that you got the ignition working. My electronic and mags were both timed to within a gnats ass of each other. I spent a long time getting them perfect. On mine during a run up at about 1,700 RPM you could not tell any difference at all if you shut the mag. You lost the tach when you shut the mag so you could not see a drop anyway, but there was no perceptible loss in RPM. If you shut the electronic you yould barely tell a difference. You could not really see it on the tach, but it ran just a bit smoother sounding with the electronic on. At idle it ran just a tad rougher sounding with either switched off.
If your RPM is increasing with the electronic switched on you have the electronic advanced a little bit more than the mag.

The EGT and CHT are now working properly but the OT and OP still do not register at all. I am a bit puzzled by this, but will pull out the old volt meter and do some more checking. the really good news is that the electronic ignition is working perfectly and really made an already smooth engine run even better. There is a definite increase in RPM when the system is turned on. It also makes me think that the Mag is timed a bit on the side of advance, so we will back off that about 3 degrees for the next run. We are using an EFS-2 and the mixture needle does turn properly when the mixture is adjusted, however, I can tell no difference between full rich and full lean in the operation of the engine. Could the idle mixture adjustment cause this? Full lean puts the holes in the needle facing directly into the incoming air, so I don't see how it can get any fuel in that setting, but it is. Now to replace the fuel sender and gauge and to correct the problems with the OT and OP, fill up the brakes with fluid, finish up the cowling and take it to the airport.
