Anyone having problems with Slick 6320 magnetos? I have had my 2nd mag failure in nine months. First failure left me stranded in North Dakota last June and now this. Fortunately I was doing an in flight mag check recommended by none other than "Walter" at APS. (thanks Walter) and discovered my mag was heading south.

 

When I looked through the pressure port I saw some corrosion internally. The first mag failed at 250 hours and this one at 420 hours.
