Robert Stone Here is a e mail I got on the subject from one of our KR colleagues a few weeks ago. I am running single ignition and feel that the following info has merit....the choice is still obviously mine...I am sticking with my Great Plains electronics but would certainly consider two different ignitions if I had the choice. ----- Original Message ----- From: Orma To: patrusso Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 3:41 PM Subject: Re:
Hello Pat Mt Vernon, Ill is just north of St Louis. To register, Go to the KRnet home page and click on the link to the 2005 gathering web site. As for the electronic vs. the magneto, mags are old technology and if yours is new or in good condition, it should work well. The electronic from GPASC should also work well, however some of the electronic ignitions are internally set for the maximum spark advance and will not start the engine. The mag if it has an impulse coupler will start and then move to the advanced position. I have on rare occasions seen a mag have problems. They usually start performing poorly just like all point type ignition systems. They generally never fail without warning first. That is not true with the electronic, when they fail it is usually without warning. I have used the Bosch 009 as a single ignition for a lot of years. I currently have a Slick and the 009. Hope this helps. Orma Southfield, MI N110LR celebrating 20 years Flying, flying and more flying http://www.kr-2.aviation-mechanics.com/
