Here is the situation and hopefully someone out there has the answer.
When I started up engine last Sunday it didn?t feel just right so did quick Mag check. #2 cylinder was not firing on left Mag. Tried to clear the fouled plug but no joy. Shut down and pulled lower plug (left Mag) looked fine but rather than risk it I replaced it with a new one. Started her up and again failed on left mag #2 cylinder. Again replaced lower plug with another new plug. Same results. Ok so I swapped plugs top for bottom. Now right mag fails (top plug) Looks like bad plug so replace it with another new but this time different manufacturer. Right Mag still fails. Swap top #2 and #4 plugs and right mag still fails. Swap top to bottom plugs and now left Mag (lower) fails. Thinking that perhaps my 10 year old harness could be the problem I ordered a harness set which arrived today. Replaced harness and left Mag fails on #2 cylinder. New plug in bottom, left still fails. Swap plugs top for bottom and Right Mag (top ) fails.
I?m thinking that my next step is to tear down one of the Mags or just order two new ones (big $$$ that I would rather spend on fuel).
Background:
Engine O-320, 1100 hrs since new and 110 hours since bottom rebuild, compression #2 cylinder 76/80. Both Mags were new last year and have ~95 hrs.
ANY HELP OR INSIGHT WOULD BE GREATLT APPRECIATED
