You do a dead cut before you shut down so you know if the mags are working properly.....
Hello Bose
I do a check for dead cut by switching from 'both' to 'l' and 'r' in turn but the engine still runs ok as you are still running on one and mag drop can sometimes be quite hard to discern (as opposed to a dead cut).Have never taken the key around to the off position.Should I be doing this a part of shutdown?
