## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS BEING RUN BEFORE FLIGHT.  WHEN SHUTTING RIGHT MAG OFF ON LEFT ENGINE, ENGINE QUIT.  CHECKED P-LEADS FOR GROUNDING AND PROPER INSTALLATION.  REMOVED MAG AND CHECKED COIL, POINT GAP AND REPLACED CONDENSER.  UPON CHECKING E-GAP FOUND POINTS NOT CLOSING.  REPLACED POINTS WHICH CORRECTED DISCREPANCY.  SUSPECT CAUSE:  INSPECTING POINTS WRONG.  WHEN OPENING POINTS TO INSPECT, BE CAREFUL NOT TO OPEN TOO FAR.
