Help on Lyc. 225 (R-680)

The problem is solved!!!

Somewhere along the way...while fixing the original problem I removed
all of the plug wires from the Dist. cap. When reinstalling them in
the new cap I used the labels on the plug leads as a guide to insert
them in the proper holes on the Dist cap. Whoever labeled the leads
used a "6" where there should have been a "9" and vice versa....so you
can guess what happened from here. The No.s 2 and 8 cylinders were
firing.....but at the wrong time. After finally discovering the
problem and switching the two leads....viola!!! runs like a champ.
Compression checks good......annual is complete....time to fly!!!

Glad to hear that it's up and healed.

We had to finally hang a board up in the shop with the phrase:
"Numbers on the mags are firing sequence not cylinder sequence"
because most of the guys would forget on the Eismen mags and use the
mag numbers as cylinder numbers al-la the newer mags.

One trick on the numbering is to skip the number "9" and leave that
one blank or use a letter. That way you have no possible chance of
flipping it and #6
