Since my building where my Dyno was located, and had been hit by lightning over 2 years ago, I’ve been at the mercy of John seaman of Dyno help.
Ive spent many thousands of dollars to get my Dyno set up to run in Lycoming Aircraft Engines, I’ve had over 100 people call me about Engine rebuilding, aircraft engines, race engines, street engines, and marine engines to build, as that was my specialty for over 50 years. The loss of use for my Dyno has been tough. I’ve spent many hours researching options to get my Dyno back on line, as John seaman has failed to get it operating again. 2 years is more than ample time to do so.
Now my options are 2
1 Go with New Superflow Electronics ?
2 Go with Your Dyno set up ?
I’ve talked to Travis Thirkettle, Shawn Kell, David Blackburn ( He was who trained me from Superflow back in 2005), Dwayne Krieger, and Cameron Jarrett, along with many others who have given me much information about their systems.
I’m hoping to get something going soon, and will post further developments as they happen.
I’m sorry for not being able to get going with what I was trying to do, starting over 2 years ago with Lycoming Engines.
I appreciate everyone who has asked and had the patience to still call and let me know they are all on board, not only for Dyno work, but also Engine building.
I’ve shared a few pics of my Lycoming Engine I built, along with the cart it’s mounted on, and some pics of Dyno work from many years ago.
I’m not a stranger to Engine building or Dyno operation, I will be back and open soon.

Just a video to show the magneto that was off less than 20 hours ago for a so called bad capacitor, now we have a points issue, found during annual inspection

More fun and games. The right magneto was taken apart at a local shop due to what the A&P said was a bad Capacitor, well 20 hours later while checking timing I could not get a good light on the buzz box. ( usually indicates a capacitor or points bridging over) my guess is the A&P that replaced the bad capacitor the 1st time failed to see the damage to the points it caused and just threw in a capacitor and thought it was good. Yea 20 hours and the same mag is bad. Not to mention they left the timing plug out of the mag so all the water and dirt could get inside and destroy the plastic gear.
Great job to my local ( 11) nm distance from me shop.
I’ve added a video for anyone to see that you cannot make this stuff up
Chose your shops wisely

Another laugh, and to show how these know- it- all shops and A&P’s do business. I was doing an oil change and compression check on Debbie’s Aztec yesterday. When I was removing the old Air Filters this is the Date I found on the filter, so 22 years worth of annual inspections and in this time frame no air filter replace ?? Again purchased in NC, at a shop last year, along with a pre purchase inspection. then taken to a nearby shop in Fl. Later due to things i saw and didnt like, ( 11) nm from me. Just as an example, how often does the average person check , replace his or hers air filters, even in an automobile ?? I doubt every 22 years. Fly safe.
