Rebuilt magnetos installed

 May 30 2023

What a lousy spring we had here,  I did not get out to begin working on the plane this year until the middle of May.

I removed my magnetos and via a local shop had them sent out to be professionally rebuilt.  As I get into flight testing there are a number of concerns that I have with engine equipment.  The engine was rebuilt but I never had any documentation on the magnetos so decided it was best to have them looked at.  A very good thing as both needed seals, bearings, condensers and one needed a new internal nylon gear.  Very happy that I did this , I am trying to reduce some of the sources of potential engine performance problems before they happen.
