Can anyone tell me if all Eiseman LA-4 magnetos are configured the same or are there variations that I need to look for. My Franklin had one good one on it when I bought it,the other one was replaced with a bendix industrial engine mag that is in really bad shape. I would like to try to find a matching Eiseman at Sun N Fun next week but dont want to come home with something that wont fit. I was going to go with a brand new Slick set up but my engine costs are getting out of hand. Also if anyone in the group has one they would like to sell that would work too.

From the manual an LA-4 is the shielded 4 cylinder mag. It can be convertedto a 6 cylinder merely by changing the distributor black and outlet plate.The Impulse is another matter. They can be clock wise or counter clockwise.If you have the 4 Franklin they are clock wise. If you have a 6 then theycan be either but can be converted by replacement with the proper part.Page 3 of TAP always has a listing of Eisemann parts.Cy Galley, TC - Chair, Emergency Aircraft Repair, OshkoshEditor, EAA Safety Programscgalley(at)qcbc.org or experimenter(at)eaa.orgAlways looking for articles for the Experimenter----- Original Message -----
