Anyone know how to tell if a Slick mag has impulse coupling or not?   I

don't have the prop on yet so I can't turn the engine over and listen for

the tell-tale snap.  I'd rather not remove the mag or turn the engine over

with the starter until the airplane is completely finished.  Can I get

impulse coupling information from the Mag serial/model numbers or otherwise

figure this out by looking at the mag when installed on the engine?  Thanks.

Dear Dean,

If you have two mags (one with-/one without I.C.), then one should stick out further from the accessory case than the other (normally the left mag) due to the additional width of an adapterplate/spacer which is necessary for the extra space needed for the Impulse Coupling. If both are the same distance, then you either have NO Impulse Coupling, or you have two (but I daubt it!).

Do not archive

On my Cessna, the spacer is about 1/2-3/4" thick and visable between the mag

and the engine case.  (look close and compare the two).



The following link has an exploded view of the mag and IC (but does not show

the spacer)  https://robertscarbrepair.com/piccategory.asp?id=300

In addition to an extra spacer between the mag and accessory housing the 

model # with tell you.  You probably have a  4371 impulse mag and a 4370 

non-impulse mag on the RH side.

Unison lists mags with Lag/retard values in their publication at:

http://www.unisonindustries.com/docs/ConsolidatedAppData_L1318.pdf. This may help you identify IC units by the model number. If you can get the sheet that comes with a new mag, (L-1058-K) it does the same.
