Recently started my RV-7A for the first time and experienced a small glitch. Although the aircraft started no problems when I tried switching between right and left ignitions I noticed a problem, the left ignition, a magneto ran fine however when I switched over to the right side (lightspeed plasma ll) the engine started to quit . On (both) the engine ran fine but did not show any RPM drop from the left setting. Did some trouble shooting and tested the ignition with the engine stopped and manually turning the prop and checking for sparks from the right ignition (Lightspeed) and guess what! sparks were visible in both (right) and (both) settings on my Spruce ignition switch. What the heck, with the engine shut down my Lightspeed works but with the engine running apparently no joy. One note is that my EIS4000 displays RPM on the tach indicator only on the both setting and I get my tach signal from the Lightspeed unit! Anyone had anything similiar or have suggestions what to track down first? All suggestions welcome.
