Your (hypothetical) mission, should you choose to accept it: resolve a misfire issue on this Seagrave engine. Good luck.

It has redundant ignition systems. On the right side of the engine is a twin-rotor distributor that fires half of the 24 spark plugs. On the left side of the engine are twin magnetos that fire the remaining 12 plugs.

End transmission. This engine will now self destruct in 3...2....

Looks like a 12, so figure out the firing order and move from there. Once you have that figured out, it’s just a case of testing wire, plugs and compression.

I think the Seagraves vary - most I see pictures of are twin twelve-dizzy. That other setup is pretty wild, though.

Kind of a trick question, really. Any misfires with twin ignition would tend to indicate something seriously, seriously wrong (like a bad cap).

Hit it with a mallet until it works.
