Dear List,
I am running and E MAG and a Slick on an 0-320. Just purchased the plane and the E-MAG worked fine until it didn't. Much of my problem arose from trying to get the E-MAG fixed. I called and emailed the factory and spoke with them and I was informed that it "sounds like I would have to ship the mag to the factory" but that I could try troubleshooting to give them a better idea of what to look at when I ship it to them.
I followed the factory instructions and came up with the same results so I removed the mag and emailed E-MAG to let them know was shipping the mag to them. I got a call instructing me to reinstall the mag and do more testing. And they wanted to know what I set the advance and the timing curve to. I had to explain that I bought the 32 hours ago and everything checked fine at the condition inspection per the E-MAG guidelines on the website. Further, IMHO, It could be dangerous to play with the timing curve unless you are well versed in engine design. I've been up and down the website and I see where to set the initial advance and select from one of 2 curves and that's it.
I called Aircraft Spruce which sells these and they have no tips on service and I can't find anyone locally who can help.
Does anyone here know of someone besides the factory who might be willing to service this thing.
Thanks
Kirk
