During run up yesterday, I accidentally switched the magnetos off and the quickly back to Both. The engine backfired and then ran smoothly so I started the magneto test again. When I went to the L, the engine quit, but the R mag had a normal drop of 120. I decided to shut down and restart, after that the mag tested normal on both sides. Can someone explain what happened? Thx in advance.
