Unison Revises Slick Magneto Service Bulletin; Kits Available

Unison Industries has revised service bulletins on its Slick magnetos 

and is currently shipping kits to enable compliance with the revised 

SBs. Service bulletins SB2-08A and SB3-08A are revisions of earlier 

bulletins. For affected Slick- and LASAR-brand magnetos (serial numbers 

from 0610XXXX to 0804XXXX), installing the kits will constitute a 

terminating action for the SBs. Others that might be affected are 

magnetos that have had their cam (or the cam as part of the contact 

point assembly kit) replaced with products shipped between October 1, 

2006, and May 11, 2008. Unison is recommending replacing the entire 

contact point assembly and distributor block and gear assemblies. 

Service Bulletin SB3-08A affects magnetos with serial numbers from 

0409XXXX to 08080453, and/or magnetos that have had the carbon brush or 

distributor block replaced with products shipped between September 1, 

2004, and August 14, 2008. For a limited time, the company is making the 

kits available at reduced prices. Any Slick or LASAR magnetos 

manufactured after August 15, 2008, are not affected by the SBs. For 

more information, go to http://www.unisonindustries.com/

I'm subject to the bulletin and I want to get the kit.  I've been trying 

to reach Unison on the phone but get no answer or call back.  I've 

searched the site and come up empty handed.



I have a Lycoming YIO-540.



Can anyone point me to a contact or URL where I can go about getting the 

kit?



Thanks.

My understanding is that the kits are on back order due to

"overwhelming" response. Go figure.  Another option would be to purchase

the brushes and cams through a shop like Quality Aircraft Accessories

(918) 835-6948.  Quality will also do the labor for $75/mag, if new/low

time.  If more than 100 hours, I think they are charging a little bit

more.



Best,



Rhonda

Purchased brand new Slicks about three months ago from Spruce.  Installed 

them on the engine but not run yet.  What would you do, send them back for 

refund then repurchase?  What?

Unfortunately, I have been told that Unison (now owned by Champion -

well the mags/harness lines anyway) will not honor a warranty/return on

new mags unless the cam/brushes are found to have wear at the inspection

intervals outlined in the SB.  I also don't believe they will cover any

labor.  If it were me I wouldn't wait, especially with Champion picking

up the product lines.  I think the delay on the repair kit may end up

being significant.
