I bought a Stihl MS 261 c-m last year to help clear out a bunch of fallen oaks at my church after the hurricane. A couple of days ago, the saw wouldn't start and continued to not start after letting it cool and then a few days later. A friend suggested it was probably the coil, so I ordered an 1135 400 1308 replacement on Amazon, or so I thought. What came was the 1300, and while very similar, had different wire interfaces. A subsequent check on Google failed to reveal any source of the exact part. The Stihl dealer I bought the saw from didn't have them. Is there a good source out there for OEM parts or exact equivalents for Stihl?
