056 ignition help

[Woodslasher]

A friend has 8-9 056 Mag/Mag II's, all with bad sem GA (If that is the late, non-Bosch compatible unit) coils/flywheels. Is there any way to resurrect the saws, or is he screwed? DO NOT ASK ME ABOUT 056 MAG II JUGS, HE WON'T SELL ANY!

I used an 041 points ignition assembly and replaced the points with a nova cell ignition trigger. I also had to advance the ignition as mentioned in the above AS thread.

I have an 056 that was repaired using Foggysail’s method and it runs great. (That’s the thread Doc ref’s above). I have ordered a complete magneto for an 041 that I believe can be installed on an 056. Don’t know for sure but I am going to look at it. I have an 041 that is Electronic that I am going to change over to points. I like magnetos better.

The problem is that I have 8-9 one piece flywheel saws, and buying or even finding 8 or 9 two-piece Bosch-type flywheels will be quite hard and/or pricey. However, I have a few ideas floating around. If any of them pan out I'll let you guys know.

Ive got an 041( crushed) but runs if you want parts.
