Husky 254xp ignition coils

[countrryboy]

Alright

 

Got a cracking old 254xp in the shed, but not been going for a good few years now, orignally when it got worm it would cut out and not start again till cold then do same again.

I was told this was a commonish problem with them, go a new coil it started 3 pulls after never been started for a long time, for 20 mmins ran like a dream (fortgot just how good they are)then same again.

The coil i replaced it with was not an original husky part and had an external earth? wire/connection missing, i was assured the right part by supllier (and persumed earth was now internally wired)

 

Does anyone know if u can still get genuine husky coils? Is there anything that causes the coil to go? If i got another coil would the same thing happpen again?

 

Cheers folks, really could do with a spare back up saw again and to be honest i prefer that saw t any of my modern 1's

Generally they just fail, I have seen ones that have had hard impact fail but nothing makes it blow IMO. You can sometimes reduce the gap on "non working coils" and get them working againn - done that a few times on ones that weren't working!

The coil is earthed through the mounting bolts - some have earth wires and some don't.

Got something in my head that the 254 coil can be used to replace the 395xp coil so no doubt the opposite would work if the information is correct.

Just checked its the 394xp coil that's the same. 268 uses the same coil to.

Cheers folks.

 

Wot type/make or where is the best place to get the part?

I got the last 1 of ebay althou throu a large garden type shop, think was something like 20 quid, but only lasted 20 mins.

At the time my local saw shop was quoting 60-70 quid for the part.

Obvously a big difference but i would rather pay the extra if the part was better and more reliable, and was also worried there was another fault causing this so new part would just go but that seems not to be the case

The part you need is 503 90 12-01 if you look at this link Husqvarna New Ignition Module Coil 503901201 503 90 12 01 | eBay

 

You will see it fits loads of machines - just look on ebay for one off a stripped machine that is original - you may have to fit a loger HT lead but who said life was easy:001_rolleyes:

 

You do get what you pay for in life - the original Husqvarna SEM units will be of better quality than some Chinese toot.
