My word Bob, you got me excited there…and I still am…tried to unscrew the HT from the original (not easy, used pliers) and it snapped at the base, tried the same with one of the “red” ones and it easily just pulled out or broke (I think) inside the coil housing. Re-tested the original from the...

Hi Guys, I think I’d better make this the last appeal for assistance, cause I’m sure by now you must be finding the whole scenario somewhat tedious…..to say the least. Stump Shot, I checked the continuity between the coil base and the crankcase…it’s good. Bob, I’ve just checked the grounding...

Hi Bob – Stump Shot, Thanks for your patience, Sorry for the slow reply but I was trouble shooting one of our water transfer pumps….Fixed. Well, I’m considering hooking up the saw to the tractor and dragging it around a paddock….or digging a hole, bury it and end the frustration. :) Bob, Took...

Hi Bob, The 391 unit has not run since I rebuilt the engine, due to no spark. Have been using a new park plug (which came with the engine bits) which I know is good cause I checked it out with the 310 unit. I controlled the air gap between the magnet/coil with a business card or 0.25mm with...

Hi Bob, Tried with leads connected and in run and choke mode….No Spark. :( The original coil ID: 1140 1305 B MC3 1140F UA312 Y. Made in Germany. The first replacement ID: Zero The second replacement Bought from Jono & Johno ID: XY36E 20210411 Cheers……Stuart

Thanks Stump Shot, Don't know if we exactly got the 850RPM....but I'm guessing somewhere close.... Cheers....Stuart

Hi Bob, Fotee Attached. I didn’t do your multicore wire piece, as my son turned up and he was able to pull the cord vigorously whilst I held the spark plug against the cylinder…..No Spark…..I used original components plus replacements….same result. Guess you can see the twist on round air...

Oh' Dear.....New to this...now I'm questioning if you got all of my response....below... My word Bob…..Many thanks for your response. Essentially, I disconnected both wires at the coil and checked for spark. The reason I find myself in this difficult position, is that I rebuilt the engine as...

Ha’ Ha’…..Sorry Bob….bit slow…again…Got Yer…NZ….yes wrong side…..and I’m a Pommy B !

My word Bob…..Many thanks for your response. Essentially, I disconnected both wires at the coil and checked for spark. The reason I find myself in this difficult position, is that I rebuilt the engine as unfortunately one of my kids caused it to die. The same happened to my Stihl 310, which I...

Thanks for your response, Yes, I replaced the kill wires and the plug wire (complete with the new coil). Have disconnected the kill wires…still no spark. Just can’t figure it out….bizarre…am at a loss….BTW I bought 2 new coils to ensure the first replacement was not faulty. Stuart

Hi, I have replaced the coil, leads, plug and flywheel on my Stihl 391, still no spark....any ideas anyone ? Stuart
