Thanks! Greatly appreciated..... BUT... I heard yours was a lot smaller than that... :poke: :laugh:
 
I need a flywheel for a Stihl 028 Wood Boss with the breaker setup. Didn't realize I can't set the points with a special tool or a flywheel to cut apart. A damaged one is fine as I need to cut the center boss out. I have leftover parts from many of the saws in my "runners" list, or $

You can put a standard 1300 coil on the 028 with the point type flywheel and be done with those points. It'll run perfect.
 
Don't you need the SEM module then or is it in the coil?

You don't need anything but the coil. I remove the flywheel and take the points out, and rewire the kill switch....that's it.

You could just cut the wires off and leave the points but that's sloppy to me.

Well it's completely apart so rewiring is no biggie.

edit to my post: I am looking for a standard Stihl 1300 coil...

THANKS MASTERMIND

I know you are on the road to eliminate the points now but I have an idea that should work for blind point setting. Get out your calipers and measure the widest point on the inside of the flywheel. This is the lob and should be max point opening. Find something that is this thickness and put it between the crankshaft and the point follower. Set the points to the recommended opening and you should be good to go. No special tool and no modified flywheel.
If this is wrong somebody go ahead and throw me under the bus, but think it out because I don't think this is wrong. Mike

Very difficult to do. The area you'd be measuring is on a taper (inside of the mating surface to the crank), and the area you'd be setting distance/thickness on is to a tapered shaft (crank). Absolutely not throwing you under the bus, just disagreeing with you. At any rate looks like about $30 for a new coil.

I have one off a 028 AV that the bearing went out but the center of it is good. Pm me if interested. I reread and dont think it will work though as it was not a points saw.

I'm on the lookout for a very strong running yet fuel efficient saw. Also the anti vib must be firm but still easy on the operator. Easy starting is also a must at my age. If anyone has such a saw to give away please contact me. :msp_biggrin:

i think you have finally lost it randy
