Hi Remi,
I am afraid I missed the earlier parts of this thread, but I just wanted
to let you know we had loose wires that would normally be connected (the
insulation held the broken pieces in contact), and would only break in
the presence of vibration, or when we pulled on the wire. We just ran
the engine at idle and gently pulled on each wire that came into the
ignition bundle until the engine idle stumbled.
If someone already suggested this, sorry for the duplication.
Regards,
Terry

Mike,
I have been working on the problem almost full time for the last ten
days. I have not found any broken wire in the ignition system. I have
ordered a new ignition module and will test it as soon as I get it.
I will let you know what I find.
Of course I regret the good old Lycoming of my previous plane: it was
using a lot more fuel but was a lot more reliable and required a lot
less maintenance time and money.
Cheers
Remi
