Title: e-mag, p-mags
Post by: alleycat on October 20, 2009, 04:13:08 PM

Anyone use the  e-mags or p-mags on their engines. The last discussions about them where the when they first came out in the 1990's. Wondering about their improvments and reliability. Thanks

Marc Zeitlin documented his problems with them at http://cozybuilders.org/Emagair_Warning/index.html (http://cozybuilders.org/Emagair_Warning/index.html)

Just got through thirty minutes of reading Marc Zetlin's problems posted a year ago about his e-mag, p-mag failures. I was wondering how they were doing and how they may be doing today.....however, judging from their past, I do not feel that I want anything to do with them and will for now stick with my two mags.
Possibly, installing them on a small Continental C-85 or O-200 would be different, but I am past being much of an experimenter. Does anyone have any experience with these smaller engines?
