  • Thanks for the video,

  • Good video. You are correct about the price of them. I have purchased several complete engines just to get hold of a good or even salvagable Mag.

  • Like the little test stand you made

  • I'm a pilot & aircraft mechanic. Mags are alive and well on aviation engines still. Usually, they're 2 Mags, and 2 plugs per cylinder. Both mags fire all cylinders and are independent of one another. This is for safety and performance. Usually only one mag has an impulse coupling. It does 2 jobs, increase the power of the spark while starting and retards timing to accomplish this. That also aids in starting. An impulse coupling should never be operating at idle, its a starting aid only.

  • Hey Pop, Magnetos are still industry standard in aircraft engines, right?

  • That most likely came out of a Wisconsin. Not all of their mag mounting used gears, in fact, the one you have looks like it came off of the "A" series because of the bottom mounting.

  • Mags like that are still used on basically all piston powered light aircraft, two for redundancy.

    They're just a good old rugged ignition system.
