mark 1 starting mag question

[thewoo1]

read in manual to have the starting mag off ..so when is it used

[brad617]

Use the starting mag only for starting. Just put it on with the other magnetos and then switch it off when the engine is running smoothly.

yeah, it's just the period equivalent of an ignition booster coil, it's only purpose is to ensure you get a nice, fat spark on startup.
shut it (the starter mag) off when the engine is in stable ground idle.
