I posted this over on the Kitfox forum, but I thought I would ask here as well.



Hey all. My instructor and I tried to take the plane up this afternoon, so I could get some time in, but we ran into a snag. He was not comfortable taking it up until we get it figured out. 



On run up, we would turn off one mag at a time to check them. Turning off the left mag would indicate a drop of about 50RPM, and we could also hear it and feel it. But when we would do the right mag, it would indicate a 500-800RPM INCREASE. Now we could feel and hear a slight drop, probably 50-100RPM, just like the left. But the indication would say a huge increase. 



The last time I had the engine running, the mags worked and showed fine. 



This is a Rotax 582 model 90 by the way. 



Any ideas on this?
