Hi,
I have been trying to solve a problem of ignition on my 582 (on Kitfox IV), but I am not fully satisfied so far. Maybe one of you already had the same type of problem and could help me?
Here is my story: I detected a failure of ignition on one of the circuits during descent (only), when the engine cools down. In these conditions, with only this circuit on (let's call it circuit 1) , sometimes engine does nor run smoothly, and sometimes even stop. With the other circuit on only (circuit 2) everything is fine.
I inverted the two external coils (the black electronic blocs) to identify the source of the problem. Same result, circuit 1 still fails, which means the problem is in the stator or the position sensor.
I then inverted the connections of the two sensors, to identify if the problem is in the stator or in the sensors. Guess what, now everything is running perfect on circuit 1 and on circuit 2! Ambient temperature was a little warmed for this last test, but apart from that nothing else was changed.
I was suspecting a bad position adjustment of one of the sensor (gap between the sensor and the rotor), but now I am not really sure. Now everything runs fine, but I don't know why!
Of course, to have access to inspect the stator and sensors, I would need to remove completely the engine from my Kitfox...
Has any of you already had this type of funny story?
Thanks in advance and happy flying in 2008!

Thanks to all! I not only have the schematic in a format I can read but am also downloading what appears to be a free program to read CAD files.
