|
Pulsar Friends,
Put in the new stator coil in my 582 and ran it through 4 rounds of touch and goes Sunday evening. Relief ... the Pulsar and I are looking forward to the convention.
After this experience, I learned and added a step to my engine shut down procedure, do a mag check. It is nice to know that you completed your flight with both mags still working and if one ignition circuit, perhaps fails, due to everything under the cowl at high temperatures, it is nice to know. Also if this were perhaps the flight that one ignition circuit fails (more likely to fail engine running than in the hanger), it is better to know now rather than on the ramp wanting to take off per plan.
I discovered that in my defective stator coil there were 2 intermittent connections, right at the rubber 2 conductor connector of my defective stator coil. I am on a mission to find out where the other side charging coil is open. It would be nice to discover that it also has a simple connector wire problem and not an open within one of the 2 coils that make up the charging circuit.
Even after taking extra care to clean all of the contacts (grounds, power ...) putting everything back together with the new stator coil, my analog tach is reading way high. Fortunately my digital tach is what I reference. Last time I fixed it, I added a stainless steel external tooth lock washer on the heavy ground to dig into the metal surfaces and provide a good connection to the engine block (but I cleaned this terminal again and still have the lock-washer in place.
Looking forward to the convention.
