Loosen the adjustable point locking screw, turn the eccentric adjustment screw until the gap is correct, and re-tighten the locking screw. Step 3: Checking the E-Gap Alignment
Many Scintilla magnetos feature an —a mechanical spring-loaded drive assembly located between the engine drive gear and the magneto rotor shaft.
Look through the timing window or check with a timing light. The breaker points must just begin to open at this exact moment.
past neutral). Many Scintilla models feature a timing mark or a hole where a step-pin can be inserted to lock the rotor at the exact E-Gap position.

Rotate the engine crankshaft to the compression stroke for cylinder number one. Align the engine timing mark to the specified BTDC degree value.
The manual expects you to understand terms like dwell angle , flux reversal , and capacitor discharge curve . It doesn’t hold your hand. For someone restoring a vintage Continental or Lycoming aircraft engine, this is gold.
Scintilla magnetos came in many configurations for different engines. When searching for a manual, the model number is your most important clue. Here are some examples of models you might encounter:
: Visual guides that show the exact placement of shims, washers, and retaining rings often lost during long-term storage. Key Maintenance Milestones
Many Scintilla units (like the SF series) require a "red line" alignment on the tooth gear, visible through a vent window, for proper installation—a different process than the "pin-lock" method used for Slick magnetos.
Remove the distributor block and inspect it for moisture, dirt, or carbon trails.
