Want to Buy 048AV Electronic Ignition

[jblnut]

Looking for an ignition for my 048AV Electronic. It has begun having issues restarting when it’s hot and from what I’ve gathered here on AS it’s pointing to the ignition.

Anyone out there have one that works properly or know where I can find an aftermarket one ? I’ve looked all over and can’t seem to find something that’ll work.

Thank you in advance !!

The parts for it are virtually nonobtanium

That reminds me of one of the few Jim Carrey movies I have seen.

You’re such a tease. I don’t like the saw enough to buy it an entire buddy but …… but ….. do they run or are they parts saws ?

I may just need to trek down to the Deep South with a few boxes of fresh chicken and a handful of Monopoly money and go shopping at Bill-Mart.

If you could post a picture of your old module, that would help. Some of the later 048s used the universal ignition (0000 400 1300) which are very common.

After the last 3-4 fudging days I have had ole "Bil-Mart" will be open for business and resemble the "Five and Dime" my Grandma talked about.

And can be updated with an 029/290 coil and toss the key. It does require timing the engine correctly. They run great at 30° btdc.

Well it only took a few months but here are some pictures. Finally. Jeez.

Did you end up finding an 048 coil or getting something else to work? I have an 048 this may all become relevant to in due course

There is a fellow north of me on a different forum that I PM’d pictures to as well that may have parts. So no, nothing acquired yet.

The saw still pops right off and runs great but won’t restart unless it cools off for awhile. So I can either take a break until it cools off or grab another saw. Unfortunately I’ve just been leaving the 048 on the shelf and that’s no fun

Have you confirmed it is actually spark? Certain fuel delivery issues can cause similar problems.
If spark is marginal then cleaning & dressing both the fly wheel & coil & closing the gap a farction can help, along with testing (or just replacing) the HT wire & fitting a new plug. Either slightly widening or slightly closing the plug gap may also help
