Shuddering Mag

Postby Vleisbom » Wed Oct 21, 2015 10:52 am

Good morning Chaps

My 582 engine was redone by the previous owner, the spark plugs , wires etc was replaced together with the mags, Sunday after i did some flying the one mag suddenly started to shudder when revving up the engine prior taking off doing the mag test.

Is this just a electrical component that suddenly fail and how do i make sure that it is the mag not something else?

Regards
