Alright guys, so i just had a terrible first experience with my recently acquired stihl 056 super. Got the thing on ebay, just got the bar and chain in today so i decided i would test it out. Mixed a fresh batch of fuel, filled her with the fluids and went out to cut. It started easily and cut through a hornbeam log like butter. The saw ran great with tons of power. I end up making four cuts (in 10 degree weather) and then let it idle. It was idling high so i set it down to go get a screwdriver. Step into the shop and it dies. Wont re start. Check it for spark, nothing. I read here about problems with the bosch ignition modules, so i knew about the issues people have had with the ignition crapping out, just wasnt expecting it to happen after four cuts on a cold day!! Frustrated as heck right now. What should i do? Look for a replacement part? Get it checked out by a pro? Should i do the SEM flywheel switch and if so does anyone here have those parts for sale? Advice would be much appreciated, thanks guys.
