I'm coming up on my first condition inspection and I an curious what others do regarding P-Mag timing.
I have a factory experimental IO-360 bought through Vans with one traditional mag and one P-Mag. I'm very familiar with static timing a traditional mag to 25 degrees with a buzz box.
My question is what do you do on a P-Mag at condition inspection? Do you go through the routine described in the manual for initial installation? It describes setting the engine to TDC, then blowing into the MAP tube twice to turn on the set-up mode, then a couple other steps to set the timing. There does not seem to be a way just to check to verify that the P-Mag timing is good and hasn't drifted.
For those of you with one P-Mag, what do you do with it at condition inspection?
