Just want to bounce a what would you do question out.
I’m coming up on 300 hours on my mags. I’m considering changing one out to either an EMag or Surefly. I currently have two Bendix impulse mags (left and right) in my IO 540. If I go with Surefly I will need to change out the harness to a Slick harness since I have Bendix. If I go with EMag it’s an auto plug change out. Either way it’s a 2K investment. But question....can I still run an impulse mag with an electronic ignition installed or do I need to switch to a non impulse coupling mag. Is it worth doing the change now and selling a mag set up with 200 hours remaining or just run them out to the 500 hour inspection. An IRAN for the mag is probably around 400 or so. Finally, both Surefly and EMag claims their product is good for a couple thousand hours, but Surefly only warranties theirs for two years and EMag only for a year. Not a huge vote of confidence for a product they say will run for a couple thousand hours. Any concerns on these products.
