Stihl 066 Magnum Red Eye - Need Parts

[Devonseano]

Hiya,

 

Our 066 needs a replacement coil. Two workshops have told me it's not possible to get one for that particular model anymore, and further info is that the saw is an 066 Magnum Red Eye, with an LED indicating rev limiting or something (don't really understand it). Much more widespread in the States for a while, but probably only imported here for a short time hence difficulty getting one.

 

So:

A - Anyone know where I can get the part from? (none on E-Bay international at the moment), or

B - Would anybody like to buy the saw for parts/collectors item!?

 

Cheers,

Devonseano

I have only ever seen one red eye for sale in the UK. Can you not just replace it with a standard coil, whilst this means the red eye won't work I can't think they would be different mountings on the case etc

Thanks for suggestions. I've been informed by a couple of people that it's a model/era specific part I need so not over keen on speculating on a standard 066 coil as I'm told it won't work. Cheers.

Standard coil will work providing the flywheel is changed
