Ok...
First, my O-320-C2B came with Bendix SoS mags. I use the square brackets because I added the fuel injection, that is not the factory configuration. But, when I got ready to assemble the plane my mechanic buddy rip them off and installed new slicks. He just insisted, I didn't want to step on his p-lead, so I relented
Second, I should mention I have the worst hot starting IO-320 I've ever seen. I have hundreds of hot starts on dozens of different airplanes, this is 3x worse.
Third, fast forward 9 years and 400 hrs, the slick mags are starting to show they need re-pointing and internal timing.
Finally, the question... As part of improving the hot starting, it was suggested I use EIS, which I plan to eventually. But meanwhile what about re-installing the SoS system?
I'm soliciting advice from anyone familiar with SoS, will they help hot starting? or should just sell the mags and use the money to get an EIS system?
Thanks,
