I am in need of a igntion module for a 064. I also need several standard clutch covers (1125) series but most guys hang on to them. The ignition is most important as of now.

Thanks,
Bill
 
Bill- whihc module is it you need? As you know there are several and some are only compatible with certain flywheels. If you have the part number on your flywheel that would help.
 
Jacob,

Well the part number on the flywheel is not going to match-up with one in a IPL. I have yet to figure out why that is. The flywheel is 1122-400-1204. The flywheel in in the IPL is 1122-400-1203. The IPL also shows 1207 which should be for the Arctic. The current module that is on it should show up as 1122-400-1303 in the IPL. It also shows 0000-400-1300 as working with the flywheel. This is the same one that is used in many Stihl saws. The 1122-400-1300 module I believe is designed only to work with the 1122-400-1207 flywheel.

The bottom line I believe is the 1122-4700-1303 module is currently on the saw but the "universal" 000-400-1300 may work also.

That technical bulletin ( 54.2000 ) doesn't list all of the modules and flywheels, only the most commonly used ones. There are actually 6 variants of 064 flywheels, and 9 variants of 066.

Bill- you are correct, you need the 0000 400 1300 universal module for your 1122 400 1204 flywheel.

You can also use the module from the 046 and 066 with the polymer flywheel- 1122 400 1314 with your 064 flywheel, I've done it with good results.

The 1122 400 1300 module works with the 1122 400 1201 or 1122 400 1203 ( use the "P" timing slot ) flywheels. That is the funky shaped ignition module that early 064 cases were molded for.

The 1122 400 1303 module for 064 is the same CDIC rev-limiter that matches the 1122 400 1307 CDIC module which came on "Red-Light" 066s. The only difference between the two modules is an extra wiring hook-up on the 066 1307 module for the red led.

You can convert your early 066 to use an 064 flywheel if you have the 1122 400 1203 064 flywheel with the dual timing slots. Use the "P" timing slot on the 064 flywheel and the universal ignition module ( 0000 400 1300 ) and an 064 starter to save some bulk on your 066.

The universal ignition that came stock on 028/038/024/early 026/034/early 036 will not work on the bigger saws. Nor will the modules from 026 and 036 saws that have the longer bodies with the square tops. Those will only work in the small saws as they have a self-advancing circuit.

Early 044 ignitions will not work on MS-440 saws with the 1128 400 1214 "Lightweight" flywheel. The older ignitions had a timing circuit which is not compatible with the newer flywheel. There is one ignition that will work on both 066 and 046 saws with the polymer flywheel, and the 440 saws with the lightweight flywheel, it is part number 0000 400 1305.
 
Oh my god JJ!! My head is spinning after reading all that. Why would Stihl subject us to such punishment? Seems stupid to me to manufacture so many different part numbers that all perform the same job.

Typical

Let me qualify this,Stihl makes a good product.Most things ,made in Germany are of high quality.By the same token,the mind set appears to be non standard components.I have worked on machine tools,for over 30 yrs,and have encountered this fact,time and again.An example being bearings in fractions of millimeters.On saws for example ,bearings that are strictly oem,in other words,Stihl owns the rights to these non standard blastreds.It's a way to controll the after market,and also to control the obsolesance.On the flip side,Caterpilar and John-Deere.You can buy nearly every part for nearly any machine these 2 American companys ever made.:)
