Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils

Corbin, you will not regret putting in Lightspeed electronic ignitions once you get them working. Hang in there, you’ll get it. You’ll be able to idle at 450 rpm which is good for landings on

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils

Electronic is nice and gives the option of adjusting timing in flight. I upgraded to the SDS system and haven't looked back: easier starting, better fuel economy, cleaner plugs,

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils

I ended up using a hall sensor for my tach input. While testing I hooked an LED up in parallel so I would know that it was working properly. Might give that a try so you can narrow down the problem

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils

Well, no luck tonight. No spark rocking back and forth at #1 TDC, no luck rotating prop faster, and no luck having the starter have a go at it. At this point, I’m assuming the sensor(s) are bad.

Re: Jabiru Q2 on Barnstormers

I'm at least glad that people like Corbin and Matt have embraced the "Quirky" lifestyle. Makes me sad to see high time Qs like this one passing through a growing trail of new owners unflown... --

Re: Coughlin Brake Mount Drawings

HOLY SPUMONI, BATMAN! Don Coughlin was a freakin' genius! Once assembled, this new version fits inside the mounts I currently have. Since the mounting hardware is identical, the difference in weight

The ad didn't have any photos or an n number listed, but based on the description, I am pretty sure it is Paul's plane. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE DROID "John Hoxie via groups.io"

Paul Spackman's N # is/ was N131PS.

Re: Jabiru Q2 on Barnstormers

I think this is Paul Spackman’s airplane. He sold it last year to a guy in Arizona. I don’t think that it has flown since he took it back there. Cheers, Jay

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils

The pickup for the Electroair needs 500 ohms to check “good”. Ohm it out. This may be apples to oranges though. Different company. Bruce

Jabiru Q2 on Barnstormers

Just saw this ad posted and came up empty trying to search the owner's name on the Q-List and quickheads. Looks like we can chalk another one up to the "successfully flying behind a Jabiru"

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils

Follow up to keep records of information learned. Klaus' best guess is that we just need to rock the prop a bit faster. He believes we have everything else correct. We will try that tonight and,

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils

Thanks, everyone. I will answer the questions and some thoughts in this reply and then again as more come in. Yes, it is a Hall sensor. Looks as though most are thinking like us and that it is

Re: Electronic Ignition Install - No Spark from Coils

Continuity testing a Hall device with a VOM will destroy it instantly. Just in case you were considering it. O’scope is the way to go.
