Just wanted to share my .02. Back story... My 394 had no issues till I started milling with it. Then it developed what I (with the advice of others) thought was the hot start vapor lock issue. I fought the issue for a while, then had a revelation on day while milling an ash from my yard. The saw seemed to run fine till I left it sit @ idle while I moved planks, refueled etc. Then it would begin to miss fire. So I figured the coil may be getting hot due to the lack of full rpm airflow. I bought the Huztl coil from ebay for less than $10 thinking it would at least tell me weather or not the coil was on its way out. Viola! It solved the hot start issue totally (while on mill duty) and ran fine, for a while. I bought it mid March and continued to use the saw for mill and firewood duty. Then @ last years FHC gtg it just wasn't right, so we didn't run it for fear of something worse. I pulled the jug to inspect (this saw has seen a bunch of mill time) and everything was fine. Threw a carb kit @ it with no change. I ran it Sat. w/ Andrew during our Red Armor switch test and tune and it was bad...
Wasn't planning on sharing the vid, but if I can learn something, or someone else can learn something it's all good.
Very very slow to rev, like diesel slow and lacked powa. Very unusual for this saw. Today I put the original back on and fired it up. The beast is back, 100%. Won't mill till I get an oe replacement.

So the cheapy coil lasted less than a year but it did make me aware that my original was slowly dying. I guess it was worth the $10, but not a long term part IME.

Sounds normal to me. Mine runs the same way :p



I do have the hot start issue though. Thanks for saving me the $10 and time

390 is limited. I don't think a 394 is

Earlier 3-series Huskies came with black coils. Not sure exactly when the changeover to blue coils occurred, I'm throwing an informed guess of about 2007-2008 out there.

Not sure what year mine is, or if that can even be determined
The tag is on the left case half, and I'm using that crank, cylinder, and handle.
Every other part was a hodgepodge of used and new parts lol. But it ain't limited, I know that

If you could find an app to convert your posts to English before you put them on the forum it would make it easier for some of us.

Been running china wangalo coils on 3 of my jonnys. I got 5 of them whipped to me about 3 years ago. One died right away. The others are perfect. Vendor sent me 2 replacements I've used them atleast 100 hers each since bought no trouble here. But they are the 272 type coils .
