## Discrepancy

DURING MAGNETO CHECK ON GROUND RUN-UP 30 SEPT 2008, THE PILOT REPORTED THAT WHEN THE LT MAG WAS SELECTED THE ENGINE WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING. ACFT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR MAINT AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE MAGNETO IMPULSE COUPLING SPRING WAS BROKEN IN THE LEFT MAGNETO. THE LT MAGNETO WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED, GROUND RUN CHECK WAS GOOD, AND ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. (K)
