Mine went bad on mine within 2 minutes of receiving it back from Jason. The coils on those 394's don't hold up good.

Milling builds a ton of heat. This last maple I did, we finished under a dusk to dawn light and it was dark. As I cut I noticed my muff had a cherry red spot about as big as an extra large egg (how's that for a description, lol). Never noticed it in the day. From now on, I'll stick w/ oe. I don't want to be changing a coil every year.

I think with coils, as with most electronics, if they are going to go bad they will do so early. If they hold up for a while, they will most likely last a long time. Less quality control with AM, but you can buy several of em for the price of OEM, and often you won'd know the difference.

Update...
The MS361 clone Fook Me wasn't running right. ...ever.
Yesterday it didn't have the nads to turn the chain in wood. Robbed a coil from a real 361 and she runs good now.
Another crapshoot

My father's 394 had a simular issue where it would not hot restart, pulled sparkplug and it was wet as it was not firing the spark/too weak spark. Pulled the old coil out and it was caked with sawdust and melted/cracked. Previous owner did not clean it at all is my guess and it does sit under the hot muffler. Put a good used oem coil on and it was fixed. Took me a while to figure it out, was about ready to give up on it. But it was worth it to see my father happy with his saw.
