Stihl Wrenching
I promised someone on AS that I would measure the difference between the 031 Points flywheel and the Electronic flywheel.
There are a couple of different styles of Electronic wheels but they are interchangeable. The version I'm showing here is that with the points covers, but if you look at the bottom left, it has a symbol that represent it as electronic.
I photographed the wheel "in plane" so there was no distortion, fed them in a background layer in Visio, and used the cad functions to perform the measurements. The leading edge of the N magnet was used as an index for measurements relative to to the key slot.
There has been a lot of AS discussion of whether you can just replace the points with a module whether you need to "reverse legs" on one, etc etc. I don't know the definitive answer, but if you get it wrong, even though the saw "runs", the timing is way off.
If I have time in the next few weeks, I'll runs some tests with points and different modules/flywheels, and use a timing light to show the results.
