Bump for a quick question...
Do the MegaFire chips still require the flywheel timing advance? I've somehow gotten the impression that they don't -- with the implication being that an advance is integrated into the module. Wishful thinking maybe? I've read so many threads and posts with so many completely opposite and differing opinions on this subject that I'm not sure anyone can conclusively say which solution works how with what except the WIMA cap in the points ignition being a dead nuts fix when reviving a points saw vs. converting points/condenser to a module, and the general consensus is that either a points flywheel advance or electronic flywheel is required for the conversion of a points ignition to a module...., depending on which module, of course. LOL
I've also heard from the only reliably informed Stihl dealer in the area that the currently available OEM replacement points sets are junk, have fitment issues, and that I should stay away from em and go NOS if necessary / possible. Anyone else have any experience with em?
As usual, TIA for any enlightenment.
