I'm test flying a new IO-540 with one LSE Plasma-III and
one Mag. During run-up, turning off the mag produces a
30 RPM drop, but turning off the Lightspeed causes the
RPM to drop by over 200. I expected a difference because
the LSE produces a hotter spark and its timing is adjusted
for reduced manifold pressure, but does this seem right?
I would appreciate input from others running a similar
asymetrical ignition system.
Thanks!
