And which flywheel did you use? There are at least three: one for points, one for the SEM electronic and one for the Bosch electronic?What does adjust the pulse entail?

its also to referred to as timing / before or After top dead center of the piston.What does adjust the pulse entail?

i have (2) 041 saws one was a bosch electronic ign / and the other was SEM electronic ign/ The Bosch module i replaced with the bosch module with one from Ebay the one i posted the SEM module i cut it off the backing timing/plate and installed a Nova ll electronic module with new coil and all is well Both run great again. My old SEM model is dated 1963.its also to referred to as timing / before or After top dead center of the piston.
I had similar trouble with a 1983 Stihl 031 chainsaw. Ignition coil weak (as tested by Stihl Dealer)"with poor spark or none at pull over speed so got to point where impossible to start. No genuine parts available so procured aftermarket finally, but its armature mounting holes in wrong place. In desperation took new coil off and fitted it to old armature. Good spark now saw would start up BUT performed poorly lack of power backfiring thru carby, and not able to be tuned by carby screws. Turns out ignition timing was badly retarded sparking well after TDC. Ended up removing flywheel woodruff key and advancing flywheel on crankshaft. Guess "coils aint coils" as this import coil had a different characteristic somehow. Good luck finding ignition coils for older models.I've have owned a Stihl 041 super AVE for 35 years and it finally died from a "no-spark" condition. This one has the SEM version of the electronic ignition. Researching the forums and looking on fleabay, I am unable to locate a replacement SEM coil. I believe the coil is an SEM Type GA coi which is used on Husky 2100's and some Dolmarsl, but I haven't pulled the flywheel yet. Any suggestions for replacement coils or other other solutions to make a spark at the right time? The saw ran really strong, excellent compression; the piston and cylinder show no scoring, so I'd prefer to fix it than junk it or sell it for parts. Thanks in advance for responses.
There is an equivalent product available on the US eBay site by "Proline"
Your request was long ago but if you still have problems......I got an aftermarket coil for an 031 Stihl around 1983 vintage, in Australia, but it did not fit despite supplier saying it was for that model saw. Saw was originally running points. Problem was the bolt hole spacing in the laminated coil armature was wrong. As you say even in USA land of plenty ignition coils are scarce.!!I've have owned a Stihl 041 super AVE for 35 years and it finally died from a "no-spark" condition.

Killswitch wire was definitely stripped (see the pic of it coming out from the flywheel case near the impulse line connector), before it went to the Stihl service. They replaced the wire, also put a heatshrink over one part of the spark plug wire. Only after fixing this they've come to the conclusion that the ignition module is kaputt (german word for broken/fubar). (I'm relatively ok with german technical language so in case someone needs an amateur translation, I can help).Tduic, one other thing you might check before you replace the Bosch stator with the Saegenspezi solution or begin modifying the Bosch ignition per Foggysail's method, would be to to check that the black wire that runs to the kill switch, isn't grounding out anywhere between the ignition module and the switch. I have read threads about certain years of Stihl saws that were assembled with wires that had "green" insulation, meaning enviromentally friendly, but the insulation did not hold up and would fail prematurely compared to the older type of insulation. If that wire shorts to ground, the engine won't start.

You are correct, Tduic, your stator is a different model and part number than the one FoggySail modified and that I have. Mine has a part number of 2 207 031 148; yours is 2 207 031 126. I suspect yours is an earlier version since the last three digits of the part number are lower.slightly different than yo
