I have a PA-28R-180 with a Lycoming IO-360 engine. I did install your
Lasar ignition system 2 years ago and it did run without any problem just until recently. Since 2 months I am experiencing problems with the ignition. I have grounded the aircraft since then. My observations: Engine start is normal, also normal operation with Lasar on. When I check the magnetos during engine run-up the engine does not run smoothly on the LH magnet. At low RPM's the problem is barely noticeable. At 2000 RPM the RPM drop is within limits but the engine runs rough. At higher RPM's (up to TO-power) the engine shakes and runs very rough with a big RPM decrease. I checked & replaced the LH spark plugs, the the main ignition switch and checked the harness. I also removed, cleaned and reinstalled/realigned the LH magneto without success. Does anybody have a similar problem? a solution? Thanks Hans |

Believe it or not, the last time somebody had a similar problem at our
field, they simply had two of the plug wires crossed up. It only really showed at the highte power settings, just one more thing to confirm. Good luck D "hmoser" wrote in message ups.com...

I have seen ignition timing that was retarded do the same thing.
