cbfarmall, from that post I tried to send a link to in your PM, trever over there was replying to another member's situation and said,
"Your saw is definitely an older 075. Most 075s that you see have the oil cap on top instead of the side, however, later model 075 did have the side oil cap like the 076s. Some of those 075s even had chain brakes. The only difference between the 075 and 076 is the ignition and fuel tank/recoil.
Stock Tillotson HS-60 carb settings with a clean air filter are: Low 1 turn from a lightly seated needle, High 1 1/4 turn from a lightly seated needle
Screw them in lightly seated and back them out. Do not seat them hard or you could ruin the carb body.
I have and use a 075 and am finishing a 076 Super that I made from a TS 760 chop saw. I have ran and built other 051s and 075s as well.
Both of mine have decomp valves. When the saw is cold, I slide the choke on and set the fast idle button on the side the handle.
As soon as it fires slide the choke off and leave the fast idle set. The next pull should fire it off. Remember to push your decomp valve back in or you will remember real quick.
Now as for the ignitions, sounds like you have the 1111 400 1305 coil. This coil uses a wire for the on/off switch and has a pair the goes to the trigger. Your trigger is under the flywheel as you know. You can use an external trigger in its place. I do not use under the flywheel triggers on any of my 1111 series Stihls. The external trigger is Stihl P/N 1118 400 1001 that sells for around $40.
Stihl only offers two coils now to the best of my knowledge. The 1111 400 1301 and 1111 400 1303 coils. You can still find your coil 1111 400 1305.
If you need a new coil, then I would get the 1111 400 1303 off EBAY or ?? This coil is a module and does not require any trigger. It has the spark plug wire (secondary wire) and one wire that goes to the on/off switch. I just priced one today from my two Stihl dealers $148 and the other dealer was $158. Pretty expensive I know, but you can find them cheaper sometimes.
I would leave the existing trigger in place if you can not get the correct puller. It is not going to hurt anything. If you are able to get the flywheel off then get rid of it and replace the flywheel. Either way I would go with your coil and the external trigger.
Check your recoil while you have the fuel tank off. You might want to replace your fuel filter while you are at it. Hold you air filter up to light as well to ensure there are no holes in it. If there are please do yourself a favor and replace it.
I hope this helps. Let me know if I can help. Have a blessed day."
