trying to get to the bottom of afrermarket ignition triggers

[stugguls]

Hi All,

I've read about all I can find on this site and others about retrofitting an aftermarket ignition trigger to my 076 which has a dead ignition and am still wondering how well it actually works. I was under the impression that the 076 had a variable timing chip, which retards the spark for starting and advances it at high rpms? I don't know this for sure as its a pretty old saw, and don't know if the trigger is what varies the timing? It appears the oem parts are almost impossible to find these days. I have access to 051 parts, but haven't heard if a points system is adaptable or even If I want to go that route? This is my favorite milling saw and need to keep it going.

I am wondering if anyone has done this successfully for a saw put to the test for milling?

This a great forum by the way, been reading it for years but this my first post.

Thanks in advance for any help,

John in Duvall

which should stihl be available from Stihl for @ $35-$40
