I am at the end of my first annual condition inspections. I have already clean, adjusted and rotated the plugs and check the timing, adjusting the left mag slightly. During my engine test a ran through a mag check. I do not get a mag drop when the switch is set to "L". Also, if I turn the ignition of, the engine continues to fire weakly and erratically. I have disconnected the P-leads and ground wires at the mags and tested for continuity from the P-lead through to the ground connector with the following results:
Switch Position
Off: right mag .03 ohms, left mag .04 ohms
Both: right mag open circuit, left mag open circuit
Right: right mag open circuit, left mag .05ohms
Left: right mag .03 ohms, left mag open circuit
I read this as the switch and circuitry operating correctly; however, I still have the problem. I would appreciate any suggestion as to what the issue is and what I should be looking for.
