056 ignition replacement question.

Typical antique Stihl ignition failure.
056ave with no spark.

Can I replace the above with this?

Maybe if I paid better attention in grade school I could read german.

This is buried in the description:
This ignition is only compatible as a replacement of Bosch ignitions with contact breaker. It is not compatible as a replacement for SEM ignitions and it is not compatible as a replacement of fully electronic Bosch ignitions.

Yours is the SEM Carl.

Or, will just replacing the little black coil do the trick?

Funny but my grandparents spoke German exclusively at home. My father understood but always replied in English.

As a tip problems on a points type ignition system are usually on the low voltage side of the circuit which are the points themselves or the condenser .On the later just about any condenser that will fit in the allotted space will work .
This might seem contrary to conventional thinking regarding battery points types which if the condenser is not matched to the coil it will burn one side or the other of the points .A mag type system this isn't so ,doesn't happen .
Very seldom would the problem be with the coil itself .In all the mag/points types I've ever worked which range from old tractors, ,chainsaw,small engines etc I have only had one coil failure which was a McCulloch and that coil worked after I dried it out from about two hours in an oven at 200 degrees .

I think the SEM module from a TS-350 is also compatible, and those seem to be easier to find.

My next door neighbor does concrete work/construction.
I've enlisted his aid in finding a TS 350 junker.[emoji106]
