My 2011 Vans RV-6a has a VTACHGEN 2 which, I think, is problematic. When the rpms go above 2400 for a minute or two, the EIS4000 rpm drops to zero and stays there for the remainder of the flight. The other day after I landed, the RPM started working again when taxiing.
Some newbie questions:
It looks like Vans no longer sells the VTACHGEN 2 so I need to switch to a hall effect transducer. Correct?
I have an IO-360 with two mags (Right - 66GP-OSANN, Left - 66GC25SFNN)
These show up at Spruce as Lycoming Mags - but I believe they are Slick Mags (vs Bendix). Is that Correct?
If so, do I need this part: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/mgltachslick.php
And, lastly, does it go on the right or left mag, or does it not matter? The engine is a young engine with 150 hours. I intend to replace the mag at 500 with an e-mag. Do I replace the right or left mag at that point? Does that impact where I connect the MGL sensor?
Thanks... in advance
