Each Slick magneto has a data tag with important information. The make, model number, rotation and lag are all shown. The first two digits of the serial number are the year it was made. The third and fourth digits are the week it was made in that year. The model number tells you if the magneto has an impulse coupling or not. For example, a 4370 mag...
Champion says a 500-hour magneto service should include these items: 1. Replace contact points 2. Replace impulse coupling spring 3. Replace oil seal 4. Replace carbon brush 5. Replace capacitor 6. Replace rotor assembly 7. Recharge (re-magnetize) rotor 8. Inspect gears and block 9. Test coil 10. Check bearings 11. Check applicable ADs and service ...
Your magnetos, either Slick or Bendix, should be removed and inspected every 500 hours. Experimental owners can usually stretch this out a bit, but ignition-system performance will begin to deteriorate if the mags aren’t serviced. This is a good time to replace any wearing parts such as the contact points and check over everything else for conditio...
At engine overhaul or about every third or fourth 500-hour inspection, you should overhaul your magnetos. This process includes all of the 500-hour tasks plus replacing the bearings, the capacitor and distributor gear. The rotor should be re-magnetized at the point, and any service bulletins should be addressed. This is where the $1000 worth of too...
Removing your magneto is not too difficult. You will need a screwdriver to remove the cap that holds the spark plug wires and a ½-inch socket and extension to remove the two nuts that hold the magneto in place. Be sure to remove the P-lead and ground wire, and take extra care as you work around an ungrounded magneto during the removal process. With...
Our manual states that overhaul must be made within 12 years of date of install or at TBA of the engine. If you've exceeded any of those intervals, it's time for you to pull the magneto and send it to a magneto repair shop for overhaul. Now you also want to note that pressurized magnetos require 250 hour inspections in lieu of 500 hour inspections.

Jan 20, 2022 · To set the internal timing, the magneto has to be removed from the engine and opened up. Another reason that a mag should be pulled and inspected every 500 hours. Internal timing involves setting the point gap and “E-gap” (“E” is short for efficiency). The point gap is set first.

Sep 19, 2013 · Please refer to the previous article on external timing to properly reinstall your magneto. If your magneto has gone 500 hours or more since it was last serviced, it probably makes more sense to have it professionally overhauled than to bother with resetting the internal timing.
