MAGNETO TIMING AND INSTALLATION ON ENGINE
A. Insert the T118 timing pin, going in "L" or "R" hole (depending on magneto rotation) in
the distributor block. Turn rotor in the opposite rotation of magneto until pin engages the
gear.
B. Without turning the magneto coupling, hold the magneto in the position it will occupy
when installed. Check the alignment of the gear coupling slot and impulse coupling
lugs. If not aligned, pull the magneto drive gear out of mesh and turn to position needed.
Push gear back into mesh.
WARNING
Prior to any engine or magneto timing procedure disconnect all ignition harness
spark plug leads from the spark plugs. Do not attach any ignition harness spark plug
leads to the spark plugs until all magneto, engine timing procedures and magneto to
switch connections have been entirely completed. The magneto is in a SWITCH ON
condition when the switch wire is disconnected. To prevent possibility of serious
bodily injury or death, before moving the propeller accomplish the following:
a. Disconnect all spark plug leads.
b. Verify magneto switches are connected to magnetos, that they are in the
“OFF" Position and "P" leads are grounded.
c. Throttle position "CLOSED."
d. Mixture control "IDLE-CUT-OFF."
e. Set brakes and block aircraft wheels.
f. Insure that aircraft tie-downs are installed and verify that the cabin door
latch is open.
g. Do not stand within the arc of the propeller blades while turning the
propeller.
