My Ms200T has developed an intermittent no spark condition, oddly it's not heat related, once running it always seems to restart. When it's cold it sometimes won't fire, then when I'm troubleshooting it, it suddenly starts working. I removed, cleaned, and replaced, the module today and got it running, but if it quits again I'll order a new module.
So the question is, should I order the Stihl part, a cheap Chinese part, or something in between?
I'm not big on buying Chinese parts but I've started buying their automotive coils, and had good luck with them, now that cars all have coils for each cylinder and they seem to fail regularly. I can buy a full set for less than the price of the one failed OEM coil.
 
It ran fine today, day off tomorrow. The coil was covered in splooge from the stupid flippy cap so maybe a good cleaning fixed it.
