Some of you may know I need a coil for an 009L saw... In an ancient thread, some members recommended Baileys, but I chose eBay (and I'm glad I did)
I didn't want to risk a $60 purchase plus $30 shipping on something that didn't "look" right.
***I'm not 100% sure which saws this coil is not compatible with but definitely 009-011 Stihls****

My coil is exactly the same as the one linked above and here are my findings:
You can see where the fuel filler cap is and the threaded hole 1/2" down. To the right of that threaded hole butted up against the housing you can see the coil and that is where the ignition wire screws into the coil. As you can see there is zero room and it's not physically possible to attach the plug lead.
The eBay seller I purchased this coil from does not list it as fitting the 009, but I figured I'd take a chance since Bailey's says it will fit without an issue (even in their Q&A). I bought other stuff I needed besides the coil in a packaged deal for my MS250 so it wasn't a complete waste and this coil WILL fit the MS250.
Glad I didn't drop a dime at Baileys and hopefully this will save someone a headache in the future, I'll try shooting them an email asking them to update their listings.
