Stihl MS 280 coil

[cvx1170]

Hello,
I've a ms280 with ignition that is not working.
I have looked around with the idea to get a AM coil it seems unavailable.
Original coil is 100-110euros here

Any solutions advice?

Tnx
Pierre

I noticed that too. I have a 280 and noticed the module is different from the other Stihl saws. I'm guessing there's something else that uses a similar module that you can use. OF course a 270 module would fit..

Make sure you try it with the kill switch disconnected. If this is the electronic carb model that wiring is prone to failure it might save you a few dollars and headaches.

Some 280's were Mtronic so coils may be different.

It is the older model with H with electrovalve on carb

Check the wires as "ccronin" stated in his post above. Also if the connection to the solenoid is faulty, the ignition is switched off. There is also no other alternative as the original coil.

I didn't notice anything newfangled about mine when I had it apart, must not be the mtronic stuff on mine. Wondering if someone might modify a Husqvarna or newer Poulan coil to work..

I a Aldo looking for alternative coil buttons seems fixation home did not not match the within any of other coil. 280-270 are not so popular and I know why [emoji1]

I think they would be popular if they had made more of them so we could get parts and the aftermarket tooled up for them. Stihl had other reasons why they cut this run short but it wasn't because the 280 was a bad saw. I kinda like using mine, it handles well and has good power for it's size.
