## Discrepancy

OWNER COMPLAINED OF A 'DEAD' LT MAGNETO.  CHECKED TIMING AND FOUND POINTS OPENING PROPERLY.  REMOVED MAGNETO AND DISASSEMBLED.  FOUND INSIDE OF MAGNETO CORRODED AND COIL GROUND LEAD BROKEN.  SUSPECT LEAD BROKE DUE TO THE CORROSION.  SLICK SB1-88 REFERS TO INSPECTING MAGNETOS EVERY 100 HRS FOR MOISTURE CONTAMINATION.  THIS WAS DONE ON THIS AIRCRAFT WITHIN 130 HRS.  THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT BULLETIN BASED ON THE FACT THAT THESE MAGNETOS ARE PRESSURIZED AND WILL TEND TO HOLD MOISTURE.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDS MAKING THIS A MANDATORY INSPECTION.
