sensor is at the ignition index.
Note: If you turn the key switch ON, the
ignition will leave setup mode and go into run mode. In order to reenter
setup mode you must turn the switch OFF and turn 12 volt power OFF.
You can then apply 12 volt power WHILE the p-lead switch is OFF
.

Without moving the drive gear, position the gasket on the E-MAG flange
and install the ignition in the engine accessory case. You will engage the
ignition drive gear with a gear inside the accessory case. Don’t worry if
you bump the gear and lose your LED light at this point, but try to avoid
moving the gear very far off the index (GREEN) position.
4.
After the ignition is positioned in the case, install your mounting clips,
washer and nut (or bolt as the case may be). Tighten only finger tight at
this time.
5.
Reacquire the GREEN LED indicator by slowly rotating the ignition. If you
don’t have sufficient adjustment range to reacquire the GREEN LED, you
can remove the ignition, rotate the gear a distance equal to one tooth
width, and reinsert the ignition. This should get the index (GREEN)
position within your adjustment range.
6.
Once the GREEN LED is reacquired, secure the position by tightening the
mounting clips.
7.
When finished setting the timing for both ignitions (and only then) you can
then reconnect the coil plug to the ignition.
Confirm Plug Wiring:
Before running the ignition, it’s a good practice to confirm you have plug wires
correctly assigned at the coil with the following test:
•
Pull the spark plugs and reconnect them to the plug leads.
•
Rest each plug on the engine case, or any convenient location, so long as
the plug is grounded.
•
Rotate the prop by hand and confirm the plugs fire as follows:
o
The PAIR closed to the prop will fire slightly after TDC
.
Note:
Standard start-mode firing angle if 5 degrees after TDC, but this is not
critical for this exercise.
o
The PAIR furthest from the prop fires 180 degrees later, provided you
do not stop or reverse the prop rotation after seeing the first pair fire.
Note: The no-stop no-reversal requirement is part of the ignition’s
“bounce back abort” routine. This is one of several kickback
safeguards built into the E-MAG.
