Subject: Pietenpol-List: Slick Mag e-gapI wasn't able to check the e-gap of the slick mag's, because I haven't got the tool to do it...yet. I don't think I'm getting enough rpm on static run up,so I've got to get that tool, and pull the mags again to check the e-gap. Has anyone ever checked the e-gap on their slick mags ???Chuck G.NX770CG________________________________________________________________________________Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2007 04:38:37 -0400

Chuck Are you talking about a T-150 tool for checking the e-gap? I've been looking to purchase one of them tools and was not able to find out who sells them. Checked with Aircraft Spruce and they wanted to sell me the electronic tool for setting the timing. Would appreciate if you have an address of the supplier. I don't think the e-gap setting is gonna imporve the static rpm. I have one mag that I broke the case on and had to replace it. So now I need to set the e-gap. What is happening to me is that the mag is not up to full change when it fires. On mag check the engine runs rough on that mag. Not knowing how to set it I just let the points open just as soon as they could which isn't right. Thanks Jim Sury ----- Original Message -----
