I have a Stihl 880 I am building and am missing the coil. I would like to know what models of coil I can use and what part numbers work together (coil/flywheel) if possible. I believe a 361 coil fits and someone told me 026? Retiming flywheel is no big deal.

All flywheels I have are the poly ones, so whatever coils work with that would be great. I know there is an 880 coil I was told was unlimited and works with poly, but I have some Stihl coils around so hoping one will work.

All help from the goons is appreciated!

In 2009 stihl updated the 880. They changed about everything different crankcase, flywheel ignition module, cylinder etc.

On the ignition module they went from a 3 screw mount to a 2 screw mount.

Flywheel from poly to aluminum.

As mentioned above the 361 and or 441 module works with the aluminum flywheel. For non rev limited.

The poly flywheel 1124 400 1210 is shared by both the 088 and early 880.

The 880 uses ignition module 1124 400 1301

The 088 uses ignition module 1124 400 1309
Read that this is non limited as well. But have no first hand knowledge.

The proverbial universal 0000 400 1300 module may work but I don't know. Would take some custom fitment.

You can still use the cylinder and muffler from an 880 on a 088 though right?

Yes the earlier 880 with cast and clip on muffler. After 2009 they go to a 2 piece muffler that the back half bolts to the cylinder. Piston and cylinder 1124 020 1207 is shared between the 088 and 880.
