## Discrepancy

ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY RUNNING ROUGH.  MAGNETOS BOTH HAD 1,786 HOURS SINCE INSTALLATION.  SABOTAGE PAINT APPLIED BY MANUFACTURER WAS NOT DISTURBED INDICATING NO 500-HOUR INSPECTIONS HAD BEEN PERFORMED.  INSPECTION SHOWED TRACES OF 'CROSS-FIRING' IN DISTRIBUTOR AREAS OF BOTH MAGNETOS.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDS INSPECTIONS WHEN DUE WILL FIND SMALL PROBLEMS PREVENTING PREMATURE REPLACEMENT.
