flyboy0681 Posted July 4, 2025 Report Posted July 4, 2025 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, 2025 Report Posted July 4, 2025 At overhaul shop $550 labor $336 parts each for two pressurized mags. Couple of weeks.
toto Posted July 5, 2025 Report Posted July 5, 2025 When you say “twin mag” are you talking about a Bendix dual mag (D3000/D2000)?

jetdriven Posted July 5, 2025 Report Posted July 5, 2025 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 And that’s how you end up with a distributor block from 1982 in your Bendix 1200 magneto, that was actually superceded by Service letter in the 90s at some point but yet there it was, built in 2017 1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, 2025 Report Posted July 5, 2025 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.
