Just a couple of ideas.

I considered a pushbutton switch then thought about there failure rate and went with the setup described above.

Just keep in mind that this is your ignition you are messing with!

Default problem with ignition switch

hi there,
fired it up my P-Mags today and now I have this question:

I have the ignition switch from Van's Aircraft installed ( OFF - R - L - BOTH - START ), used that for the Slick magnetos. Now when I fired up the P-Mags strangely enough I can switch to right or left P-Mag, but when I turn the key to "both" the engine goes dead. Anything I overlooked in the installation manual ? Obviously I do have to change the wiring of the ignition switch ? Any advise ? Thanks a lot in advance !

best regards,

Josef
