Good Morning AS,
Went to start my 066 yesterday and the darn thing wouldn't start. Checked the carb, air filter, ect and everything seemed to be in order. Pulled the plug out and did a spark test, and no spark! I verified the kill ground wasn't engaging, checked the gap with the flywheel, and made sure it was bolted down snug.
So I went online to look for a new coil. Holy sheet, $125 for a new coil! Now I remember why I stay away from Stihl's.
Is there anyway to test this coil to make 100% sure it is bad? I'm assuming there is an ohm reading specification but I can't seem to find that info anywhere. Before I spend another $100+ on this saw I want to make sure the coil is my exact problem.
Thanks!
