I've got 2 regular Bendix magnetos. I've been chasing down an issue with the help of my engine builder where the right mag is seeing drops of 300+ rpm pretty much every time I do a mag check. The plugs are all good, the coil is new. The mag runs perfectly on the bench.
My engine guy is checking the capacitor, in the meanwhile I was wondering if anyone might have any ideas. Could a faulty p-lead cause this? How about a connection to my engine monitor (p-lead pickoff with an inline resistor)?
For information sake, my left mag sees a drop of about 100. I check my mags at 1800 rpm. I have no issues while flying. My engine is an IO-320.
Thanks for any insights.
