Subject: [LML] LSE Plasma III CD Ignition

Several years ago I purchased a LSE Plasma III CD Ignition = system for my O-320-E2D which used the Hall Effect sensor which mounts on = one of the mag pads on the rear of the engine.

I was never able to get the system to work for very long - = seemed to be affected by temperature. Even went to see Klaus who put in a = new circuit card in the sensor and even have me a new computer. Still wouldn't work for more than a few minutes at a time, and I = ended up taking it off after several rewire attempts which resulted in no change, so it was removed and replaced by the magneto - which has been = working very well.

The whole deal was pretty disappointing as when the LSE = unit was working it gave me better power (as was evidenced by greater static RPM = and better climb rate) with improved fuel = consumption.

Am considering my options and have decided to give it one = more try, but this time trying a crank sensor vs the Hall Effect = unit.

Anyone who has one of these systems on their plane with = good luck using the crank sensor, please advise.

Thanks!
