Hey guys. hope everyone is enjoying this here nice new forum. Seems to have less BS than the others out there. So I thought id post up my question here.
I have a good old 038 super. I just put a new piston in it, new crank seals both sides. It starts up and runs good for a few minutes then will just cut out. i did notice it has a chip on the ignition coil. Could these possibly wear out over time? I noticed with a quick search on the Ebay for an ignition coil for an 038 that maybe an 044 coil would work as well? If i try this ( i have a few 044 coils ) would the 038 flywheel work ? It gets me wondering with the chip currently on the 038 that it needs an upgraded / newer flywheel ?
Is this true? What have some of you had experience with? The saw passes vac/pressure check. I will look at the carb, but do not think this is the issue...after a few minutes of running it, it immediately cuts out and shuts off and wont start again until cooled down. Leads me to think something with the ignition coil / chip.
Thanks.
