## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) PILOT EXPERIENCED A LESS THAN EXPECTED PERFORMANCE FROM THE AIRCRAFT ON THE INITIAL TAKEOFF. HE THEN RETURNED TO LAND, DISEMBARKED HIS WIFE AND PERFORMED A MAGNETO CHECK AGAIN.  AFTER IT CHECKED NORMAL, HE PERFORMED ANOTHER TAKEOFF AND AT 600 FEET AGL, THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND MANIFOLD PRESSURE DROPPED.  THE PILOT COMPLETED A 180 DEGREE TURN TO LAND ON THE RUNWAY ACCEPTING APPROXIMATELY 5 KNOTS DOWNWIND CONDITION.  UPON TOUCH DOWN, HE WAS SLIGHTLY FAST AND VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY WITH THE NOSE WHEEL CLIPPING ONE OF THE TAXI LIGHTS BREAKING IT.  THE PILOT WAS UNINJURED AND CALLED AN A&P MECH TO CHECK OUT THE AIRCRAFT.  THE A&P SIGNOFF SHOWED THE RIGHT MAGNETO 5 DEGREES OUT OF LIMITS AND THE PLUGS FOULED.  HE CORRECTED BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS.  THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE NEXT DAY.  THE PILOT CHOSE TO LEAVE THE LANDING GEAR EXTENDED UNTIL HE COULD HAVE THE AIRCRAFT JACKED AND A FULL OPERATIONAL CHECK COMPLETED ALTHOUGH NO VISIBLE DAMAGE EXISTED ON THE NOSEWHEEL.  WHILE ENROUTE TO PALO ALTO, CA, THE PILOT LANDED A STOCKTON, CA TO REFUEL AND NOTICED THE ENGINE PLUGS STARTING TO FOUL AGAIN.  THIS WAS AGAIN CORRECTED AND THE AIRCRAFT FLOWN TO PALO ALTO, CA.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
