Stihl 032 electronic no spark

[gcabinet1]

Yes so another 032 with little to no spark
so I have been reading the posts on 032 with no spark
my question is if i get some spark once in awhile ( not enough to run)
is it my coil or my original module ( black thing mounted right in front of
the gas tank) sounds like an Oregon 33-053 might work?
any info would be greatly appreciated !
thanks Gary

Hi Gary,
I had a 391 that would clog full of junk over the coil and it wouldn't want to spark or run. So I cleaned it and it worked great. Not sure if that was the issue or not but I always keep em clean now.

Hi,
My Stihl 032 did not have a strong enough spark to run the saw but it did have spark, sometimes. I checked out many other items on the saw; carb, vacuum, pressure, compression, etc., etc. and they were find. All electrical components check out so did the coil, the multimeter showed it had resistance. The saw would not start. I replaced the points and condenser with a new Stihl OEM chip, no luck. After a few beers and some tears I bought a different chip and installed it. Not all chips are created equal. So here is my theory - the coil gets old, weakens, and curtain chips do not create enough pulse to the spark plug to start the engine. So get the right chip. For my Stihl 032 and for me the right chip was a - SIG-01.

Now with that said and if you go out and get that chip mentioned above and it does work for you all I can say is have a cold one and enjoy. I do not recommend tears, it has little effect on the saw.

Good luck, I
