PowerUp Ignition Harnesses
FAA-PMA Aircraft Engine Ignition Harnesses for Continental and Lycoming Engines
Maximize ignition energy and minimize flashover with PowerUp FAA-PMA approved ignition harnesses for Continental and Lycoming aircraft engines. Engineered for the high-temperature, high-vibration environment of reciprocating piston engines, these harnesses are available in complete sets or as individual left- and right-hand units.
Why PowerUp Harnesses Outperform the Competition:
- Unique negative-pitch spring design: The coil spring tip extends inward and lies flat against the spark plug electrode, creating 360° contact for maximum ignition energy transfer and reduced flashover
- Replaceable contact springs: Field-repairable design saves time and money; replacement springs sold separately
- Plated steel nuts: Superior strength versus aluminum; reduces galling risk during installation
- 19-strand stainless steel conductor with tinned-copper, nickel-plated braid shielding, which minimizes EMI and maximizes conductivity and flexibility for easier installation
- Abrasion and heat-resistant polymer cover: Engineered specifically for reciprocating engine environments; available in red or black
- Straight or 90° steel elbow lead options

Frequently Asked Questions
Can PowerUp aftermarket parts be mixed with Champion Slick parts?
Yes! All of the PowerUp Slick Aftermarket parts have been FAA-approved to be equivalent to or improved than Champion Slick parts. PowerUp’s Aftermarket Slick parts have been in production for 30 years and tens of thousands of our parts have been put into service.
What is a good core return?
A good core retunr for a factory overhauled Slick Magneto is going to be a current series 4300 or 6300 Slick Magneto. If a new Slick Magneto is purchased, then older series Slick Magnetos can be considered for credit on a case by case basis.
Does this Magneto come with an impulse?
Check the "Detail" tab of the Slick Magneto that you are interested in buying and the Slick Magneto listed with a "Type: Impulsed" will come up with an impulse coupling.
What are the possible bill backs that I can get on a core return for my Slick Magneto?
There are no bill backs on a core return that is a current series 4300 or 6300 Slick Magneto.
For a Slick Magneto what is the service time?
According to the Slick Magneto by Champion Overhaul Manual L-1363F, the magneto should be overhauled at TBO, lighting strike, prop strike, sudden stoppage of the engine and immersion of the aircraft.
