course to learn how to maintenance magneto

What should I do if my Magneto is not working properly?

At the same time, the breaker points and condenser are normally replaced and the magneto is lubricated. Inspection of the gears for cracks or abnormal wear is very important to the function of the magneto and health of the engine.

How often should a magneto be serviced?

Remember, the purpose of scheduled maintenance is to prevent unscheduled maintenance. In addition, Bendix-style magnetos have a recommended four-year-in-service or five-year-from-date-of-manufacture replacement/overhaul, whichever occurs first.

How reliable is the magneto?

While the magneto is very reliable and robust, it is intolerant of neglect or abuse. This article is not intended to make you an expert on magneto theory, function and maintenance but should prove helpful in understanding the periodic maintenance recommendations by the respective manufacturers.

Can a magneto be fired without a wire attached?

Regardless of whether the magneto is still attached to the engine or has been removed, Kevin McWhorter, owner of Kevin’s Magneto Service in Manito, Illinois, warns against dry-firing the unit. (That means rotating the lug and firing the unit without a wire attached to the output.)

How long can a magneto be stored?

A magneto that has been stored for even a half year can develop erratic performance. And those in long-term storage, especially outdoors, often require extensive diagnosis. After dissembling and cleaning up a a magneto, it’s time to look inside the magneto to find its rotor. Located under that device is a set of points and a condenser.

Can a magneto rotor be replaced?

A rotor can be an electrical leakage problem and should be fairly easy to replace. The metal tip of the rotor may look burned but can be filed clean, magneto expert Cork Groth advises. The points and condenser are held on to the interior of the magneto with screws, some of which have slotted holes.

What happens if a magneto doesn't hold?

If it doesn’t hold because the parts are worn, you won’t have the whole starting circuit. “If you dry-fire it without a wire attached to direct the spark, the current will seek out the weakest point in the magneto and cause damage or dissipate in the coil and ruin it,” McWhorter explains.

Why can't I hear the click on my magneto?

If you do not hear the click, your magneto may have a broken impulse coupler. Options for fixing this are to buy a new magneto or to send the magneto to a business that specializes in restoration.

Why does magneto make a clicking sound?

At the appropriate moment, the spring is released, and the rotor is quickly rotated at around 150 rpm within a magnetic field to generate a charge of electricity – hence, the clicking sound associated with magneto ...

Can an expert do spring drive?

Some work only an expert can do. Due to the complexity of the spring-drive system, the need for special tools and testing equipment, and the internal workings of a magneto, it’s usually best to have any adjustment or rebuilding performed by a professional shop.

Does a magneto have a spark?

The presence of a spark won’t be a guarantee that the magneto is putting out enough current, however. It can give you an idea of how well the unit is working and if the spark is hot enough for ignition. If there isn’t any spark, you at least know you’re wasting your energy.

I wouldn't think you have to be an expert on it but you should have some knowledge about it. Do you have an A&P?

I agree, since you have to be a certified Aircraft welder in order to weld on an aircraft, that knowledge only should be fine - same as O&P test.

i was a welder since i was 12, oxy/acetelene, then stick, then tig (never cared much for mig).
