Rebuilding Bendix Ignition Switch

[cliffy]

With two magnetos you need to ground the one for starting Get the bar and install it

Where do I get that bar from? Right now all I have is a jumper. It’s basically busbar material but the link distance is custom right? There’s no PN for that which is why I have a short 16 AWG wire link between two pidg lugs.

[cliffy]

You can probably call any magneto repair shop and order it but the wire jumper should work just fine if it is made well and secure.

[jkarch]

You’d be surprised how hard these things are to find but that wire jumper is pretty solid!

The wire jumper will do the same job.

Before I spent $500 for a new switch I would be tempted to get an EA-15000.

think this'll work with a surefly?

Unless the engine has dual impulse couplings.

Do any Mooneys have dual impulse couplings?   :-)   I've never seen one.

One of the advantages of the dual mag (D) is that the impulse coupler can drive both sides.   I think this is where the rewiring issues with the ignition switch come from.
