mfg Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 It's a good idea to change out an Avanti's ignition ballast resistor every few years.....True? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Kile Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I once used a ballast resistor with a "Corvair" engine in an airplane (a Pietenpol). After a couple years it failed at the crimp ends where the connecter is fastened. So I would say that it's true. Charlie RQB3921 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Although changing out an old ballast resistor might be considered good 'preventive maintenance', the truth is those things can go on forever, and they REALLY only need to be changed should they fail...Answer....FALSE!
