mags overhauled

[RVPilotDotCom]

Can anyone tell me the best place to get mags overhauled? I have a set of slicks off of an O-320 with around 600 hours that need a going over.

Thanks.

I had them done at Mattituck. I had to send one back due to a sticky impulse coupler. But, they turned it around quick at no charge.

Now, I have 100 rpm drop each side.

YMMV

John,
What did it cost?
My mags are due for the 500 hour inspection too.

Sticking impluse coupling?? they didn't catch that on the OH?
no charge to redo it??
not sure what you mean.

thanks for the info

I had it done through a local shop. It was $450 or so.

The engine started and ran fine. But it you turned the prop over by hand, you could feel the resistance just before the impulse coupler snapped. The first time I did it, the prop stopped dead and my hand slipped right off it.

I have a wood prop and clean it after every flight. Sometimes it's not a bad idea just to turn it over and see how everything feels......

The best guy in the business for mags is Mr Carter from Atlanta... he is in his late 80's and has been doing them since aircraft had dirt floors... email me and I'll get you his contact information.
Thanks

I was wondering what the turnaround time is on
those, and would like contact info too..
I have a slick that looks good but wanted
it checked out before use..
