 differently than the left. I don't know why it is shown like that.

Mystery solved. Ian sent me a version "L" of Z-20, which shows the 

mag switch wires being identical. I looked through both the rev. 12 

and PPS on Bob's site and it showed "K" as the current version of 

the PDF. But then I went to the .dwg files and sure enough, there 

was version "L".


	


  I don't have the older version on my laptop but

  I would guess that while the two switches may have

  be reversed in their connection, the system would

  still have performed as advertised. The ignition

  switch needs only to provide continuity to disable

  the magneto when in the "IGNITION OFF" position.

  Flipping the wires around on the switch wouldn't

  make an operational difference.

Bob, I think that you issued the newer version because in the older version

one switch earthed/ grounded the one magneto in the on position...



(in South Africa we tend to use the word 'earth' as opposed to 'ground'-

helps to explain why there is no electricity on the moon- 's because there's

no earth!     )
