Whats the difference if I change my stock slick to a bendix in my PE90? Am I still able to run just one?
 
yes you can still run just one .....if you wanted to :?

people say they like the bendix better because there rebuild-able

I just made this same change to my PE90 and it does run stronger especially at WOT.
At first it was confusing because the coupling looked "diffrent" from the Slick mag, but it's fully interchangeable. If you change mags, be sure to get the wire cover & retainer 'cuz the Slick cap won't work. :wink:
This mag came from Tom Jeffords in Lk. Wales, and I could not be more pleased!

Unless your PE90 has aircraft cylinders, you can only run one magneto. :wink:
 
The main problem with Slick mags is they control their own product. You cannot easily buy parts for rebuild. Slick sells rebuild "kits". I needed an impulse coupling spring for a Slick mag, and found out that you cannot just buy the spring. They only sell a coupling "kit". It came with the entire coupling assembly,spring,strike pins,nut,cotter pin....etc. The cost was approximately $335.00. All I needed was a spring. Luckily I found a used serviceable spring. You can't just buy points, they sell an overhaul kit. Slick controls their product by making you send in your old mag as a core on a new or factory rebuilt unit. Bendix mags have a part number for every part. If you need points you can just order points,or any other piece you need for your rebuild. But for your original question, the only way you would be able to run dual plugs with a bendix brand magneto is to use the mag that goes in the Lycoming H2AD 4 cylinder motors. That mag is two mags (8 wires) in one drive unit. Using that dual mag eliminates having to modify the case to drive a second mag. You still have to drill the cylinders.

There is no difference .. The bendix mag will simply replace the slick...If that was your ?
