Riki - One tractor mechanic I use has rebuilt the mags for many experimental aircraft. He has been servicing these mags for 50 or 60 years and they work just fine when he is done with them. The mags on an aircraft engine are the same ones that were used on most tractors in the 30s, 40s, & 50s.

I'm an A&P-IA I'll not build any thing until I'm sure of what I am doing. I don't know where the hostility comes from, but it really doesn't belong here. This is every bodies web page and all information I can get here the better I am. I started this thread to gain information.
I know that you own and fly a EZ but what have you really contributed to the thread? First you tell me to go to a web page that is not attended enough to get a password approved, then you criticize others for not contributing any thing useful.
Not always. I know some really immature people who simply lack spines so they try to paint themselves as tolerant. However, I will agree that I have no problem with you so I'll assume in your case that it's a sign of maturity and intellect.Being tolerant of others is a sign of maturity.
Unfortunately in science what you believe is irrelevant.

I believe this thread has gone far enough, just let it go away.
For those who gave good advice, Thanks.
Agreed - time to let it go.
