Quit with the negative waves, man.
So went out to do a little flying yesterday, and the JPI showed #2 cold on the left mag. Pulled the plugs, cleaned em, reinstalled. Same thing. Put in two new plugs I've been saving. Same thing. So I figure I have a bad lead. No burned insulators or springs or obvious arcing. Checked the logs, mags were oh'd 75 hrs ago, harness dates back to '84 and 700+ hours. Not too bad TIS wise, but some discoloration, some abrasion. Lot of heat under that LoPresti cowl. Yes, I could just replace the bad lead, but ignition being kind of important, starting fresh couldn't hurt. In the scheme of things not terribly expensive.
Which brings me to the question at hand. For Bendix s200 mags and Lyc O-540A1D5, Chief has a PMA'd Aero-lite harness at a fair if not good price, but it's a heck of a lot cheaper than Bendix or Champion. Does anyone have any experience or know anything about this brand? Any suggestions as to vendors for a new harness? Nobody local stocks them so it's your recommendation or the interwebs.
Thanks.
