I have a 031av stihl chainsaw. I upgraded it to a electric chip a while back it was running pretty good for a bit. Then it wouldn’t run at all really beside an occasional sputter and die if I throttled it. Found out the fuel line seal to the fuel tank itself was cracking, and a gasket to the carb was also warped and not seated correctly. I put it on the shelf for about a year now because I have a chainsaw, and I found the 031av in the trash and didn’t want to spend more money and time on it. Well I’ve got nothing else to do so might as well tinker with a saw. I’m gonna buy a carb kit, the fuel hose, but I was wondering which flywheel I need? I remember researching on it a while back about the flywheel but I can’t remember if I had the right one. My chainsaw says 031AV and below it it says ‘electronic’ with the ‘ct’ being the only visible letters left. But I know I replaced it from points and condenser to an electric chip.
So my main 2 questions are:
A: what flywheel do I need for it to run correctly with electric ignition chip upgrade
B: if I have the correct flywheel, my flywheel has 2 cooling fins broken off, should I buy a new one?
