foggysail--- I have three defective Stihl 201t modules. As some may know, Stihl screwed up when they made the 201t and many had defective coils--along with other items.
I have repaired/modified a few 201t but had to replace the coils.
Do you have any idea what their design flaw was and if your repair could be done?
Have compression fuel and spark....dont have a way to measure the spark so not sure how strong it is. I've rebuilt lots of saws and 2 stroke dirt bikes....it has to be a problem with the ignition...anyone kniw what the resistance of the coil should be?
Thank you very much!What is a 201t?
It's usually "roughly" a matchbook thickness if i recall correctly...Anyone have a good way to check/set coil to magnet gap?
Have you tried different carburetor settings? Mine won't even start if the L needle is 1 turn out. It has to be 3/4 turn out and it runs perfect. If my H needle is too low then it won't idle and will flood after I throttle it, if it's too high it won't start well. Possible air leak in fuel line? I had to goop some Threebond on the carburetor fitting last time I cleaned it because the fuel line wouldn't fit back on as well as it was originally. Also, check the muffler for carbon build up if you haven't already.Update...i can keep the saw running feathering the throttle but it is missing the whole time its running...any ideas?
Yes a business card is pretty standard for setting the gap but I've never set the gap on one inside the flywheel that seems a bit difficult as far as getting access
Think i may go this route...anyone tried these?
