I've been reading through all the 064 ignition threads on here and that has really been a great help! I have some questions remaning that I haven't gotten a clear understanding on, maybe I've missed it, sorry in that case.
I have a 064 from 1989 (fairly sure, haven't been able to find a serial or something like that). The saw died and there's no spark, it has the 1122 400 1303 CDIC module and the 1122 400 1203 flywheel with a single keypath. Nowadays it seems to be impossible to find any other ignition module than the 0000 400 1300 one. Finding the two keypath flywheel also doesn't seem easy and I think it also wouldn't fit the rope starter that's on.
So the plan is to use the 0000 400 1300 coil and put the existing flywheel in the "alternative" position manually and not use the key.
Is it a bad idea to not use the key? I've seen some claims that the key is really just an aid to place the flywheel correctly.
Plan B would be to get a key broach and create the alternative keypath.
From measuring on pictures it looks like the alternative keypath is 40 degrees from the one used with the CDIC? Does anyone have a more exact number?
Anything to keep in mind when using the saw with an unlimited coil? This saw is used in a "farmer's saw" so maybe having the limited coil was actually a good thing?
Thanks!
