I thought this TCM SB might be of interest to some of you folks out there
with Continental engines.  Article reprinted from this morning's AvWeB
AvFlash:

BAD CAPACITORS IN SOME TCM/BENDIX DUAL MAGS: Teledyne Continental Motors
has issued Critical Service Bulletin 662A affecting aircraft that use
the TCM/Bendix dual magneto models D-2000 and D-3000.  A bunch of
capacitors used in these magnetos had a manufacturing defect that caused
them to go bad after a short time in service.  If your D-2000 or D-3000
mag or a replacement capacitor has less than 200 hours on it, TCM wants
you to replace the capacitors within the next 30 hours or the next
scheduled maintenance, whichever comes first.  If excessive mag drop or
a zero mag drop is noted during runup, the capacitor should be replaced
before further flight.

   NOTE: AVweb's NewsWire <http://www.avweb.com/newswire/news0006b.html>
   includes the complete text of TCM CSB 662A.
