My #3 cylinder has always run a little cold
on the right mag only. I fixed what I thought was an intake leak 20 hours ago and that helped, or at least seemed like it, but today it became clear that #3 was not firing at all on the right mag. To make a very long story a little shorter, the problem travels with the ignition lead. If I switch top and bottom leads on #3, it still goes cold on the right mag, which tells me that it's not the plug. The harness checks fine on a lead tester, and when I finally broke down and pulled the mag I was able to 'spark out' all four leads against the mag case. I was expecting either the #3 lead would be bad or it wouldn't spark, but it looks like that's not the case. Anybody ever see anything like this? Anyone got any suggestions? Note that this is *not* the cylinder I replaced. On both mags the engine is noticably smoother than before the new cylinder. Details: Lyc O-320D Slick mags The mags, harness, and plugs are about 6 months old Good compression check Dave '3-2-1-pffffft' Hyde RV-4 in flight test, EAA tech counselor |
