    We pull the lower plugs so that nothing can fall into a cylinder. Thanks for for the video.

      You can do it either way. Top is easier

    Beautiful explanation. Would be difficult to find another video explanation of magneto like this. 👍🏻👍🏻

    Totally dangerous! Disconnect all the spark plug wires to ensure that no cylinder could possibly fire. Also remove at least one plug from each cylinder to make it a lot easier to turn over the engine and make it more accurate. (I realize this isn't a running engine but no point in teaching very bad habits.)

    Not trying to be nosey know it all just a little help for you knew guys.
    If you take out all the top plugs, it will be a breeze to rotate.
    Sometimes those things can check backwards on you and bump you in the head Otherwise, this was a great video !

    im pretty sure you only connect the red lead to the p-lead and you connect the black and green leads both to ground. You don't connect 2 leads to the p-lead.

      Good Comment,, as long as the P lead is grounded it dont really matter what is hook to it

      The timer has a different buzzing tone for the left and right leads. If you only hook up one lead and leave the other one hanging, then the timer continues buzzing steadily, which is annoying. Takes no time to hook up both on the same post, allowing for greater amount of mental sanity while performing the alignment :-)

      Unfortunately you cannot perform magneto timing with the P-Lead grounded. It needs to be floating so the magneto is live.

      It’s probably more clear to say you connect the 2 colored leads to the 2 p leads

    Cast valve covers on a school engine! Cool! But I have some stamped ones I’ll trade you for.

    It would be easier to set the timing by removing all the top spark plugs. This will remove any compression in the cylinder.

    • @GrummanPilots

      Felipe L either way, top or bottom, taking a plug out removes pressure. The advantage of the bottom plugs on Grummans is that you do not have to fight the baffles.

    • @hulyan8944

      we do that on our school, and will just check for compression by plugging a thumb or palm on the orifice
