For my recent annual we re syn 'ed the mags on my 0360 A1A 180 hp Lycoming. The mags were still factory set and when we checked them they were at 28 degrees. We reset them to 25 degrees as our Lycoming manual shows. Prior to re setting while at 28 degrees my mag drops were very gentle at about 50-60 rpms. Ran great. Now at 25 degrees the mag check drop is about 90-95 rpm on both sides with a noticeable drop. Also, the plane does not seem to have as much kick as it did before. Is there an issue with having the mags at 28 degrees ?
