Pietenpol-List: More mag problems

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: helspersew(at)aol.com
It was a pleasure to meet John for the 1st time and to get to spend some more timewith Hans and Karen. Thanks to all of them for a really nice evening. Also got to see Hans at the Critter's Lodge fly-in in Centerville, TX this weekend(a wonderful outing). Two Corvair Piets at a small fly-in in central TX.Lots of fun.Photographic evidence of the Brew Boys festivities attached.Axel--------Kevin PurteeNX899KPAustin/Georgetown, TXRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/hans ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: More mag problemsDate: Mon, 27 Sep 2010 07:45:16 -0400

Ah yes=2CI have had this happen to me and when I talked to another pilot he told me it had happened to him as well.It does happen on occasion that both will go at the same time.I sent both of mine away to Savage in California and had them overhauled and the guy told me that they were in real bad shape.Both of them.I guess because most of the time we get them overhauled at the same time and they are both used at the same time it stands to reason that they should both go at close to the same time.You were very lucky to make it back with out having to land out in an emergency.

Another thing you should do is check all your plugs.I don't know about you but I use regular automotive Champion plugs and they are like light bulbs=2Cone minute they are fine the next they are junk.I wish i could get a cross for aviation plugs but there is no such thing for my engine.

two shouldn't go at the same time. Start looking at things in common=2C like the mag switch. Also=2C is it possible you have an engine problem like a blown head gasaket that might have fouled plugs?Gene> Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: More mag problems
