About 500 hours since new on 113 series one Pmag one Emag. Lots of early growing pains but trouble free for probably 300 hours +

Default P-Mags

150 hours on mine, and the Doll has never started easier, hot or cold. I love them, and believe they are the way to go!

Ordered dual Pmags on our IO-360 from Lycon, much to the behest of the establishment from some of the guys around our parts. No report but definately watching others intently.

Default 880 Hours

No issues in 880 hrs on my pokey -9A. Tweaked the advance curve so they run really well lean of peak. Cheap car plugs from the parts store. Not a bad deal.

Brad has always answered my goofy questions with a smile.

Hey guys, easy on Scott. The post was probably pulled because I committed to buy the two mags and I am not a Moderator.

Also, I did check them out with Brad at E-mag.

Default 450 hrs

450 hours on my first pmag and the last 50 hours were with dual pmags. All ok for the last few years. When I flew from Seattle to Oshkosh, my carbed O 360 rv7 with dual pmags used less fuel than my friends rv7 FI 360 with dual Bendix mags. We have the same BA Hartzel prop and we flew together out and back!

I hate to be the lone stick in the mud, but I did have a problem recently that required sending my Emag back. Their customer service was terrific but naturally the airplane was grounded until the mag was fixed. I don't expect any manufacturer to be perfect but I do expect them to stand behind their product and EMag did. No complaints, just reporting a problem that was fixed properly and expeditiously. Even with the problem, I would purchase them again.

Just to be sure - EMag or PMag Jeremy?

Sorry, that was a misunderstanding on my part. I haven't advertised anything for sale here yet, and was unaware that it was an option to close the thread at the time you post the ad. Scott probably did that because he wasn't a frequent visitor to the site... The ad was his first post. That, and my paranoia about people trying to scam buyers on the Internet just contributed to a situation that was already "unusual" from my perspective.

Glad to hear you picked them up, that was an excellent deal!

Default Thank you!

I'd like to thank you all for your input. I have a little over 100 hours on mine and thought I'd wait until next CI to pull it and look for.....something? (using the Lycoming gear)

The BR8ES' came out clean but will change them anyway. I got some Iridiums from Rock Auto at under $7 each (received in 3 days to CA) and wondered what the gap should be - same as the regular electrodes? Is there any trick to gapping them, seems it would be prudent to be delicate with that little electrode?
Thanks again all!
