Hey guys, anybody else have a problem with the husky 3120 burning up coils?
This is the 2 nd one I've had to replace in a year.

That doesn’t look like an OEM coil, if they’re aftermarket then no surprise they don’t last.

I have green oem coils for a good price if anyone needs/wants

Well, new coil, yanked flywheel to look at key and keyway, still no sparkles.
What in the ...? Never had that happen! Yes, I am looking now for a OEM coil.
Thats what I get for shopping over seas. Where should I send money?

 

[John Deere 318]

Anything else I should be looking at, no spark at all hmmmm

these are my preferred method of sawing.

Buy a green one from Huskihl or go to the unlimited.

Leave the kill switch unhooked and see if you have spark again

Spark plugs!?
Something about non-resistor plugs damaging ignition elements if these are set up to run a plug with resistor.

Just a thought.
Might be worth checking/looking into since plugs are cheaper than coils.

Kill switch un hooked and still no sparkles, what a treat to hook that back up. bent needle nose pilers and still 5 minutes to get it plugged back together. I guess i am not supposed to work on orange saws.

You just have the wrong approach to fixing orange saws!

While looking straight at them You have to yell and cuss ten prior generations of the saw.
Once You turn Your back to the saw in question You may cry Your soul out in an futile attempt to gather strength for another cussing session.

It won't fix the saw, but at least it's something!

Hey guys, reset the air gap and I got sparkles.have a video but the
Forum don't accept it. And yes Wilhelm, I may have dropped some bombs
In the garage tonite but it all went away as soon as that big girl barked off.

Got her converted to a PDF!but of course it didn't work. Go figure, me the non tech guy!

Thinking About Buying a Husqvarna 3120

I've been thinking about buying a 3120 to use with my Granberg mill as a dedicated power source. I'm currently using a 395, and I like it for regular cutting but I can't when it's tied up on the mill. Also, the 395 chain tensioner is a real pain in the neck. It's bad enough when not in the...

She were green when I got her used. No telling what she was new.
