Here is my latest bonehead move:
For all of you guys out there that want to know how to destroy a perfectly functioning behind the flywheel coil. First you decide that you just cannot sleep at night knowing that the small amount of crud behind the flywheel that you were not able to clean off during your cleaning/inspection process is still there. And, for that reason you must absolutely get that damn flywheel off so that you can remove the crud. New to this style of setup and still slightly confused as to where the coil is on this saw you notice the three small threaded holes in the face of the flywheel. You decide that the manufacturer must have put them there for you to put three screws into in order to advance those screws far enough to force the flywheel off the crank shaft. Perfect logic......so you proceed and the flywheel pops off. At that point you discover the location of what used to be a perfectly functioning coil but now has the plastic case cracked in three places and the copper coil exposed. At that point you decide to pull up the electronic version of the repair manual that you so diligently downloaded from this site to look thru for the first time and discover that had you done that 15 minutes earlier you would still have a perfectly functioning coil instead of a perfectly ruined one.
