flyboy0681 Posted July 4 Report Posted July 4 What are you guys (and gals) paying out there for an OH, and what kind of lead time have you experienced?
Brandt Posted July 4 Report Posted July 4 At overhaul shop $550 labor $336 parts each for two pressurized mags. Couple of weeks.
toto Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 When you say “twin mag” are you talking about a Bendix dual mag (D3000/D2000)?

jetdriven Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 There’s just so much complaints of stuff coming out of Kelly’s factory I would be very careful and very suspicious of anything overhauled by them. especially something with a single point failure such as a dual magneto. They were the ones that had their overhaul manual written to where they did not have to replace a single piece and call it an overhaul. So they start recycling a bunch of used stuff. And that’s how you end up with a distributor block from 1982 in your Bendix 1200 magneto, that was actually superceded by Service letter in the 90s at some point but yet there it was, built in 2017 1

I thought Kelly was interesting because they have a PMA for every Bendix dual mag part including the housing. But the end result for me was that they essentially replaced every part including the housing. Anyway, it’s been a trouble free IRAN for about 200ish hours.
toto Posted July 5 Report Posted July 5 This is the guy that I was planning to use next time around: He’s very active on the Piper Forum and very well regarded. Seems to do a lot of dual mag overhauls.

He is very experienced with the dual mags, and talked me out of doing an overhaul and just doing a 500-hour for some good reasons. Mine was done in February for about $1800 and it's been fine. Bruce is very good to work with. Highly recommend. 1

I just didn’t want this to devolve and go down into the proverbial rabbit hole. I’m just inquiring on what fellow owners are paying.
