Hey folks
I have an old RMI uMonitor in my -8 that is 10 years old and I have been thinking about upgrading to the MGL Xtreme EMS. Unfortunately, there are a couple of complicating factors:
1. I have one of those Bendix D300 all in one magneto monstrosities on my IO-360-A3B6D.
2. The tach pickup for the RMI uMonitor was essentially just a connection to the back of the ignition switch for each side of the mag. There is no "sensor" per se.
My question is:
Has anyone used an Xtreme EMS and managed to connect it to a D3000 mag unit successfully? If so, how did you pick off the mag signals to drive the tach on the EMS?
The MGL web site doesn't show any connectors/sensors related to that kind of mag; just the standard single mag types.
Thanks in advance
