I have to protest the allegation that conditions in  the combustion chamber would cause early failure of a magneto. BTW, Before  installing my 2nd (dual) electronic ignition I put 900 hours on a slick mag  (while running the Electroair), working perfect at the time of removal. Proper  use of the Electroair or Lightspeed systems reduces CHTs and increases  horsepower. There are many well educated pilots on this forum. Your system may  be good, but please stick to the facts.

Hello Dale, 

  

Thank for the reply, this is a  great topic and has been  going around the lunchroom many times and at my chapter meetings as well as  others. 

Definitely do not want to step on  any toes or slam other ignition systems. This is just experience and  information that I and others have gathered over the years. The mags  that I have inspected that were 1/2 and 1/2 that had failed, the failure  was in the distributor block with severe carbon tracking, resulting in  miss-fire. However, I've have seen that in the typical normal 2 mag set-up as  well. The cylinder pressure does increase when there is a  earlier firing  event before the mag firing. However, this is NOT going to guarantee of an early  magneto failure though. The mag just has to work harder to ionize the spark  that’s all. Now if there was already an existing problem. It would definitely  increase the chance of earlier failure of that  mag/component. 

  

Sincerely, 

  

Thomas  S.
