discuss the magnetos
2 engine driven magnetos provide current to spark plugs
Engine cylinder had 2 spark plugs powered by magneto
a. loss of 20% of normal engine power
b. if magneto doesn’t drop P-Lead is inop (grounds magneto)
c. Clean fouled spark plug
i. Lean engine to max power then reattempt magneto check
