Stihl 088 no spark

[MATTMOSS]

Some saws need a damn strong pull to get a spark, the 066 is one of them! Try closing the gap between the coil and the flywheel to one thickness of A4 paper - pretty tight but may get the thing working again!

 

If you have disconnected the kill wire off the coil then it is most likely the coil to flywheel gap, the speed you are cranking at or the flywheel magnets!

 

The key in engineering terms is a woodruff key or flywheel key in engine terms:thumbup:

 

A chuck key is something found embedded in the ceiliing above the lathes at school:001_rolleyes:

 

Ha Ha I've seen this happen!!

Or putting your hand into a circular saw doing logs!

 

Was a mess at the time but works okay now......20 odd years later.
