Somebody had a post recently regarding magneto ignition wireing. He said Superior said to not follow the pictures in the manual and instead look at the distributer cap as they are marked with numbers to determine the wiring order.
I am glad he made his post because I also used the picture for my wiring.
Well I looked at my mag. caps on my Superior IO-360 parallel valve Slick mag, and there is only one mark on it that identifies the #1 cylinder. Now, the question is, which way do the magnetoes turn. so I can properly wire my ignition.
The magneto on the right side, looking from the cockpit, Says RH on it. The mag. on the left side says LH on it. The question is, Does RH mean the mag. belongs on the right hand side ar does it mean it turns top to the right. Also, does the left mag turn in the same direction or the opposite directon since it says LF.
I have had several folks state opposing statements. I appreciate someone confirming the above.
So many ways to *****-up.
Thanks,
