FAA Approves Electronic Ignition - Possible Avfuel Solution?

@bjornfb

Hi Bjorn,
I was asking questions in the past about installing Electroair ignition in my 337A. I finally received an estimate to have them installed, but the time to install seem extreme. Do you know how many hours of labor were involved in front engine and rear engine installation. The manufacture I believe had the number of about 10 hours of labor per engine, but I received something like 40 hours per engine for my estimate.

Thanks for any help,

Karl

Sorry, I don’t: they were installed as part of a larger “catch up on deferred maintenance of the previous owner” effort and so I don’t know how much the ElectroAirs took by themselves.

Karl, not an Electroair answer, but just FYI:
I put a Surefly SIM in place of Left mag on my engines. Took about six hours over two days for both engines, including unboxing, doing the 2 forms 337 and log entries, new harness routing, new wiring, SIM programming and timing. But I’m very slow, and I’ve got a rear access hatch for rear engine mag access and the interior was removed for annual. If I had to start with an unopened aircraft, I could see 10-12 clock hours for both engines. When Surefly gets dual-installation approval, I’ll replace my other mag with another Surefly.

Thanks for the replay. I'm talking to a second mechanic about installation to see if they come up with the same figure. If they do, the difference between what the manufacture believe is the install time and the mechanics install time has a large discrepancy. I'll let the forum know what I find out.
