1997 Husqvarna 36 Chainsaw Ignition Module

[Renfroe]

I have a 97 Husqvarna 36 that the original ignition module quit working after 25 yrs. Replaced IM & Bosch spark plug, the saw ran a few minutes, cut off and would not restart due to no spark. Though it was a bad IM, so ordered another one from another company and same results with new champion plug. Any idea of what is causing the IM to stop working after a few minutes of running?

The folks at HL Supply suggested I ask for help on this forum.

I would just use a used OEM coil. Lots on eBay. I use mostly NGK plugs. Check you gap between your IM and your flywheel. If your bearings are going on the flywheel side you could have problems. Also make sure your flywheel nut is tight and properly indexed to the key way. As that determines timing.

I appreciate the suggestions. Will check the flywheel out this weekend.
