Eisemann Magneto installation

[surfales]

Can anyone here provide instructions how they install their Eisemann impulse coupling magneto? We got ours installed and the runs ok but it took us several "remove mag, turn prop, reinstall mag" till we got the timing correct.

Sounds about right to me. There is no "peg" like on a Slick. It takes experience & guesswork. You got it right!

I love Eisemann mags; my UK-based Taylorcraft has several thousand hours on the same Eisemann mags..

But inspect/service/replace/grease the magneto bearings and oil slinger and oil seal every 500 hours, just as you would for a tractor. Cheap maintenance at about $100 for parts.

Set engine to correct degree. Rotate mag thru to correct cylinder AND SNAP the impulse. Make sure your hands are clear or you will get a jump start. Then back up until points open and you will be close. Finish install with mag timer.

Would be great to see a write up of the process you used to service your mags. Is it in one of the Eisemann manuals? Or even better on your site? All the photos and writeups you do have been invaluable but I haven't seen one on Eisemann servicing. Hope I just missed it!
