Was flying to the avionics shop yesterday (7 miles as the crow flies)
Takeoff was total perfection. I suspect books will be written about it
I executed a perfectly coordinated crosswind and downwind turn.
Just out of my home field, still climbing, full rich, just under redline, my engine does that thing it does when you are leaning and go just past the peak.
It did it for just a half second and resumed normally. was half way so kept on truckin. Just prior to downwind at the destination field, it did it again.
Just a little shudder and then everything is normal.
I am wondering if it could be a mag issue. I am having a heck of a time getting it to start. turns and turns, sometimes will sort of catch and spin fast but not quite fire up. Eventually it starts.
Annual is next week but Wanted to get your take on what might be happening.
