I have an RV-8 with a YIO-360-M1B 200hrs TT equipped with Slick 4373 (impulse) on left and 4370 on right. It has been very challenging to hot start this summer. I recently purchased a Slick Start module to install on the left (impulse) mag.
I have a Dynon SV-EMS-220 picking up the tach signal from the key switch left and right p-leads through 30Kohm resistors. The Slick Start manual has a warning statement "CAUTION: ELECTRONIC TACHOMETERS UTILIZING A MAGNETO PICKUP ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SlickSTART"'. THE TACHOMETER SENSOR SHOULD BE RELOCATED TO THE RIGHT HAND MAGNETO." Is the Slick Start going to cause a issue with the Dynon SV-EMS-220 or will the 30Kohm resistors protect the Dynon from the boost?
Is anyone running dual impulse mags to aid in hot starts? My Bonanza (IO-520) has dual impulse mags Slick 6310s. It requires good hot start technique but will hot start most of the time on the first try. If not on the first try, the mixture/throttle dance will work. Ironically, I checked today and discovered that the right mag has been grounding (for the last 10 years) when the key switch is engaged. I guess the key switch jumper was never removed when the engine was replaced in 2008. It was originally equipped with a shower of sparks. Can someone confirm that when running dual impulse mags the switch jumper should be removed so that both impulse mags will operate during the start.
