My stihl won't start........

[Greenthorn]

...............can't even get a burp.

Yes I just went there!

441 non mtronic
No spark.
Replaced the spark plug, no go.
Replaced OEM coil, no go.
Traced down the kill switch wire, not grounding out anywhere.
What are some other things I need to look for?

Help me get my saw burping again please.



Thought I would try to keep up with the mystihlwontstart fellar, if anyone remembers?

We need pictures of your girl first .

Is your spark plug dry?

 

[Stump Shot]

Disconnect kill switch wire and give it a try.

 

[Greenthorn]

Sparkplug is wet after 5 - 6 pulls

 

[junkman]

If take the plug out and ground to the jug ,does it spark when pull the cord ?

 

[Greenthorn]

Disconnected wire, still won't burp.

 

[Greenthorn]

No spark when I do that either Brian.

 

[Mastermind]

You sir.....need a coil.

Want did you gap your flywheel to coil at? Break in plug wire? Magnets on flywheel still strong? Did you clean your case when you mounted the new coil?

 

[Greenthorn]

You sir.....need a coil.

Another 80 bucks, whhhhaaaa?
I was also wondering if flywheel problem, magnets seemed strong?
Cleaned contact mounts, adjusted with the business card.

You might want to try a different spark plug and check the wire at the boot before buying another coil. I've experienced completely dead plugs more than once.

 

[Greenthorn]

I guess it could be possible I got a bad new coil?

 

[junkman]

Sounds silly but try a new plug ? Or did you put a screwdriver in the coil lead to test for spark ?

 

[Duce]

Question for Stihl guys. Are Stihl coils guaranteed like Husky coils are? Paint under coil mount and not getting grounded, had that happen before.

 

[Greenthorn]

[Greenthorn]

Tried several different plugs.

 

[Mastermind]

Jason, you already bought a new coil? My reading is poor......

 

[junkman]

Does the 441 have an on off kill switch like the 440 does ?

 

[Stump Shot]

Have to ask, since I'm not there to see, are you rolling it over swiftly enough? You can try cleaning off the magnets with a scotch brite pad and look for hair line cracks. I seriously doubt this, but you're running out of room here. Try setting coil gap tighter, maybe card used was too thick possibly. Air gap is pretty tight on Stihls .2mm or roughly .008.
