THRUSH AIRCRAFT, INC – MODEL S2R-R1340
POWER PLANT GENERAL
Ref. Figure 4-1
The engine has nine cylinders, the
cylinders being disposed radially on an
aluminum
crankcase
Magnesium
alloy
crankcase front section and the super
charger section.
The cylinders are of
steel and aluminum construction.
barrels are machined from steel forgings
and have integral cooling fins.
heads are made from aluminum castings
and have deep cooling fins and rocker
boxes cast integrally.
screwed and shrunk onto the cylinder
barrel,
forming
assembly.
Ignition is furnished by two
high-tension magnetos mounted on the
rear case assembly. The right magneto
fires the front spark plugs and the left
magneto fires the rear spark plugs, and
both plugs are fired simultaneously. Fuel
and air induction is through a float type
carburetor, a centrifugal supercharger,
and intake pipes. The propeller is driven
directly from the engine.

IGNITION SYSTEM
Ignition is furnished by two high-tension
magnetos mounted on the rear housing
(see Figure 4-2).
magnetos is to supply sufficient voltage
at the proper time relative to crankshaft
travel so that an equal distribution of
voltage will be delivered to the spark
plugs
through
the
assembly.

MAGNETO REMOVAL
Ref. Figures 4-1 & 4-2
Magneto removal may be accomplished
as follows:
A.
Loosen the knurled coupling that secures
the flexible manifold conduit to the
distributor block cover elbow.
the two screws that secure the elbow to
the distributor block cover.
B.
Remove the screw that secures the
distributor block cover halves of the
magneto.
C.
Remove the safety pin; disengage the
two spring locks on the distributor block
cover. Remove the cover halves. Lift
out the distributor blocks and wrap each
block in oiled paper.
D.
Remove the three bolts that secure the
magneto to its mounting pad and lift off
the magneto and rubber coupling.
MAGNETO TIMING AND
INSTALLATION
Before installing a magneto on the
engine,
the
internal
magneto should be checked.
E.
Remove the breaker compartment cover.
F.
Attach the red wire of PWA-2417 (or
equivalent) indicator to the breaker points
and ground the black wire to the
magneto housing.
G.
Place a straightedge against the step on
the breaker cam and turn the magneto
drive shaft in the normal direction of
rotation. The light of the indicator should
flash on just as the straightedge comes
into alignment with the timing marks on
the magneto housing. The timing marks
seen through the timing window should
be aligned at this point.
TIMING AND SYNCHRONIZING
MAGNETOS
To determine whether the magnetos are
properly
timed
to
synchronized with each other, perform
the following:
