Impulse Coupling on Magneto
Hello community,
I have a question I think some of you may be able answer: in most(?) reciprocating engine installations, the left magneto seems to have a impulse coupling, enabling the magneto to produce a spark strong enough for ignition even at low (starter cranking) RPM's. The question: does the coupling alter the ignition _timing_ (e.g. towards late), too? I hear this, sometimes, as the main reason why you should put the ignition shift in the "L"eft position when handpropping the engine and, while doing so, preventing the right (early igniting) magneto to kick back the prop. Thanks in advance for the answer.... Best Regards Kai -- Return address is invalid to help stop junk mail. |
