Subject: Re: Igniton set up for my M45 engne
Hi Guys
I concur with Laurence's comments. I removed the bob weights on my M45 distributor and then invested in two timing lights so I could synchronise the magneto and coil ignition.
Having the idle speed change when one of the ignition systems is switched off is well understood. I believe in aviation this is called the "mag drop" and is the last thing you check before taking off in a light aircraft.
