From the foregoing it appears that we should keep both magnetos at the same setting to obtain the best results from a detonation stand-point. The new wiring scheme in which each magneto fires some inlet and some exhaust plugs can therefore be proceeded with. He/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Y. Young. | ||
