AOG in Truckee. S6RN-25 Mag needed

[Niko182]

I departed Truckee today and had a decent amount of engine roughness. Landed again and left mag was doing pretty bad. Any one know where I can get one soon - ish. Looks like I'm getting a replacement engine within the next month or two so I don't really care if it's new or not. I just want something that can get me home.

Thanks Nik 949 267 8813.

Are you sure it's the mag and not one of the plugs gone bad?   I had a similar problem last week (also expecting a new engine soon).  The engine was rough and the EGT on #3 dropped when on the left mag.  I was able to replace that plug and the problem went away.    (sorry if this is obvious part of trouble shooting, people have different experience levels.)

yep I had a bad plug last week too.  Cleaned it and all happy and good.   It was pretty obvious on the engine monitor which cylinder.

700rpm drop and running really really rough when i turn the good mag off. 10rpm drop when i turn the bad mag off.

That can be a bad plug.   Engine monitor?

Like you said, that sounds like a mag issue then.

Let me know if you find one. I might head up there Saturday if I can talk my family into it.

If there is a mechanic, have him pull the points cover off and check if the gap went to nothing. If it did, just set it to about a 0.010 gap. Your internal timing will be close enough, it might be worthwhile to check the engine timing. It will probably get you home.
