If you have replaced all of the parts that are associated with the RPM Sensor, and it is still providing a fluctuating reading, you should probably replace the RPM Sensor.Īll you have to do is remove the vent plug from the magneto plug. They will have warning before the aircraft engine develops delayed timing, or if the fuel is not being burned properly. If there is a fluctuation in the RPM sensor, this could mean that there is significant wear to the components that could result in equipment failure.
The Digital EGT Gauge System was designed this way so that the pilot can monitor the wear of the components and ensures that all aspects of the plane are functioning on the same timing structure. The pilot is able to gauge the function of the components it is attached to, to ensure that the aircraft is operating normally.Īny sudden drop in RPMs on the sensor Digital Gauges can alert the pilot of a significant problem or deficiency with the spark plugs of the craft.
It also serves as a transformer, a breaker switch, and a distributor guide, which provides a high amount of power back to the spark plugs. Instead, the power to the magneto comes from the spark plugs, which work like a miniature generator.
