Ms180 - Starter Kickback When Cold?

[singinwoodwackr]

If it is electronic it is a module, not just a coil. Modules have electronics inside to replace points and set advance. A coil is used on an ignition with points or a separate trigger module.

Ah, I think of mtronic when I see "module "

It's a module combined with a coil. Have to have a coil (transformer) to multiply the voltage.

Sometimes Stihl calls them controllers also.

Is there a decent manual for this thing? I assume remove recoil, remove flywheel bolt with an impact. Normal or reverse thread?

Do not use an impact. Pull the sparkplug and stuff the cylinder with a rope and do it by hand. The force of an impact will shear the aluminum key on the flywheel if it's not already damaged.
