Hey guys, Newbie here at this site.
I've got five 031's that have various problems. I got them about 6-8 years ago at an auction. I had one 031 that I just loved, and thought more's better. Then I found out that most of the ignition parts for these saws are obsolete. I read through a few of the posts on this forum and learned alot about the saw, but most of the posts were a few years old. What I need to know is can coils still be gotten for these saws, how do you test a coil, and how do the modules know when to fire, and can the modules still be gotten. Basically, most of my saws have no fire for one reason or another. Where can I buy a new set of points and condenser reasonably priced? I think I may have given too much for these saws.
