> Somewhere in the process, I dropped a small quarter inch lock washer. It went down behind the air shroud, and I assumed it wound up on the floor. No such luck. It stopped on the bottom of the magneto which of course is magnetic.

Since also the Cessna 172 I use for flight school has magnetos, I'm wondering if scooter engines are designed after airplane ones or viceversa... in the second case, how am I supposed to bump start the airplane if the engine quits? :)

Regards.
