I have a Titan IO370 on my experimental cub under construction. One Slick mag on the left side and an Emag on the right. After mounting the engine, timed the mags, and thought I was through. In a discussion with a friend, about on is off and off is on for a mag switch, I grabbed up the mag toggle switch for the Slick, still just hanging by the wires, and was going to show him that when the switch was on, it grounded the mag, and when off it allowed the mag to run. With a volt meter I hooked to both poles of the toggle switch, and found that in either switch position, the mag was grounded. So removed the switch, it was working fine, checked the p-lead wire and found it went to ground, so removed it from the mag, and found the stud that is on the mag for the p-lead shows ground. Had not found this before I timed it, but just not sure when was the last time I checked the switch. I am stumped as to why it shows ground on the p-lead stud. My thinking is it should not be grounded until the it is switched off. Any thoughts.
