Legit a better teaching than what I learned in person!

[@767chip]

Excellent job James! Very simple clear and concise instruction

[@Havanafly]

This is better than what they taught me in Powerplant.. lazy teachers...

[@wlbrobinson]

This is actual course level demonstration.

[@davidferris9392]

Thanks for this. Really appreciated. Clear, concise, and to the point.

[@vohntefielding3585]

Literally the best magneto video I have seen

[@bayroncamino]

Watson excelente clase sobre los magnetos ,como me gustaria trabajar en un taller de motores a pistón para aprender y hacer las practicas, está si es pura aviación

[@neandertallis]

Short and down to the point. Well done, Sir!

[@RichardMay-rs1ph]

Many of us are working on homebuilt/experimental aircraft, so we are perfectly legal installing and timing mags, without an airframe and powerplant rating.

Yoooo! Doing some last minute reviews before my O&P’s in one hour and I come across you, homie. Hope you’re well! 💪🏾

Thanks James. Great explanation.

[@ricarenado]

Awesome explanation!

[@johnyoung4466]

Great explanation on how to handle a man with an impulse coupling.

[@vohntefielding3585]

Should make a video on finding top dead center and compression check

[@alexisponce4294]

[@airplanemechanic5561]

great review for new a and p.

[@yoga-uden]

super clear instruction, thanks

[@davidwallace5738]

Thanks for posting sir.

[@160WPAviator]

Good video.

[@nathanrice1796]

Very interesting and informative video. I notice it's using the Tempest brand oil filter, which Champion Aerospace recommends against.

[@mgdurandolo]

Why?

[@kellygreene3402]

Tempest competes with Champion so of course Champion Aerospace recommends against its use... Like Dah.

[@victoryoungblood]

Very informative !

[@ahmetdulger957]

excellent

[@maheralazzawi7814]

GOOD job

[@davidcastanedamarin3510]

Thank you!

[@mgdurandolo]

So the TDC mark aligns with the TOP case split? Other instructions say the little hole on the starter?

[@garyvanremortel5218]

Same.

[@Stratocruizer51]

In the video he stated and is showing the 25 degree alignment mark on the rear of the starter ring aligned with the split in the top of the crankcase. There is also a 25 degree mark on the front of the ring gear that aligns with the hole in the starter. So, there are two ways to align the gear to 25 degrees BTDC as stated in the Piper manual.

[@mervinclar1054]

Thanks! This is the video my professor recommended to us. But I notice something on 3:36 you said right hand side, but you point the left side of the engine... ?? I'm just curious

[@G4Disco]

In this case imagine the aircraft is on it's nose. That cylinder he pointed to is on the right or co-pilot side if you are sitting in the seat.

[@mervinclar1054]

@@G4Disco ohh. Alright, got it. Did not thought of that, maybe I was slow at that moment hahaha thanks!!

[@GirishOnly4U]

What is the purpose of X hole in distributer?

[@scottairshows9828]

Damn that's helpful

[@Jjjjjjc]

👍

[@waqarsyed6641]

Damn man wish you could put Magneto's on my Continental engine

[@azcharlie2009]

Very helpful! Thank you! N2953U

[@MarkSmith-zt2zl]

Right left side cylinder is confusing to amateurs. Number 1 cylinder is farthest forward on Lycoming, farthest rear in continental. TIO-541- Lycoming number one is on the left from the rear.

[@ctsteve1967]

purchase a Manual money well spent

[@stellingbanjodude]

I have a feeling if automobiles had to be maintained as rigorously as aircraft, there would be fewer on the roads

[@ctsteve1967]

I have had more problems with the guys that have there A and P doing work then when I do my own. The A and P boys cannot be held accountable for there work. So I do my own.

[@drgreene1013]

Greg Plaka if you’re not a properly certificated mechanic doing the work that’s illegal

[@TheAow4321]

Im an A&P.. we can face jail time for improper work, thats pretty accountable

[@drgreene1013]

TheAow4321 truthfully the likelihood of jail time is extremely slim unless it can be proven something was done intentionally

[@TheAow4321]

dgreene1013 just saying, the risk is there. My certs can also be revoked(more likely)

[@drgreene1013]

TheAow4321 i know so can mine!
