I started this in the Sachs Dolmar Thread but I think that was in the wrong place so here is a repeat.
I have a Makita DCS6401 that I replaced the coil on. It starts and runs but misses bad when I rev. Rebuilt the carb, checked the gaps, new plug, fresh gas but it just won’t rev. The A/M coil I bought said it works in a Dolmar 6401 and others but only lists Makita 6400&7900. It seems like the timing is advanced to me. Could there be a timing difference from a M6400&M6401? Box says it replaces the 038143041 which I think is the OEM unlimited coil. Asking for input before I break down and go OEM.
BTW, I didn’t remove the welsh plug I just blew everything out with carb cleaner and compressed air.
Vid of it kind of running attached
