This is a brilliant idea,have been looking for a fix,figured the module could be rebuilt with conventional available components rather than just settling for the manufacturers "NLA"(Which is cheesy product support anyways)I wrote stihl #####ing about letting a winner like the 056 fade into obsolesence,they wrote back with a list of outfits specializing in obsolete saw parts....I bought a module and flywheel from ebay and fixed my ignition failure,but have been staring at my old module now since I found this fix,planning my next failure.....Your trigger is shown mounted 90 degrees from the ignition coil as opposed to the 180 degree original Bosch trigger mount,this doesn't make a difference?Is there a killswitch lead coming off that available trigger?Finally,the electronics you sawed off,must be the trigger you used houses all that now?Oh one more thing....the flywheel tweak you mention(half a keyway advance)is that necessary or can timing be adjusted by the slots in the backplate?
Good idea. Everything work ok?
I am in the process of trying this trick with an 045 and bosch coil. Is the chip positive grounded or negative grounded for this saw? I tried negative and no luck with spark.
I will try that this weekend. Did you cut the flywheel key or slot the ignition mounting plate to mod the timing?
