Hi Jeff,
In 2005, after about 400 hours, I had a problem with a rough mag drop.
After some troubleshooting with help from Lockwood Aviation, it turned
out to be broken wires at one or more of the multi pin connectors
between the electronic modules and the ignition coils. The wires broke
where they entered the little grommets before the crimped terminals. I
took the plane to Lockwood in Sebring where they were able to do a quick
and satisfactory repair. (Much quicker than any of my efforts would have
been.) I believe that later engines have a better arrangement of support
brackets and cable layout to minimise this problem.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers, John

HI All,
After returning to the ground and as I shut down I went from both the right
then
left mag before shutting down. I noticed the left running slightly rough
compared
to the right. I didn't have time to look it over then but I will soon.
Other than the plugs can anyone tell me anything they have found to cause this.
Thanks in advance to anyone with Ideas.
Regards, Jeff R. A258 - N128LJ / Gold Rush 110 hours and climbing slowly.
