## Discrepancy

DURING ANNUAL INSPECTION, NO RECORDS EXIST OF ANY MAGNETO MAINTENANCE.  ALL 4 MAGS REMOVED FOR TCM 500-HOUR CHECK. THIS MAG HAD POINTS IN CONFIGURATION OF COUNTERCLOCKWISE ROTATION, SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOR CW BY P/N AND IPB.  TWO MAGS HAD LOOSE BEARINGS, ALL 4 HAD WORN DISTRIBUTOR BLOCKS.   THREE SETS HAD BURNED POINTS, BAD CONDENSER, 2 COILS WITH CRACKS.  BOTH ENGINES WERE 'MAJOR OVERHAULED' 162.1 HRS AND 369.4 HRS, ENGINE ONLY.  NEITHER HAD ACCESSORIES, FUEL SYSTEM, ETC., OVERHAULED WITH THE 'MAJORS'.
