The dreaded stihl 056 SEM ignition.

[Pcorbett81]

Hi everyone, I'm working on an old 056 super and the ignition failed. Well as you may know, there are 2 different types of ignition systems used on these. Bosch and sem. Mine is sem. The Bosch one is the one froggysail posted about fixing on arboristsite. I bought an unreturnable part from my local stealership which I'm guessing replaces the Bosch. I have scoured the internet and all I'm coming up with is incorrect. I believe the sem ignition came on the ts350 as TS360 concrete saws. Do any of you have any of them laying around for sale? Or know someone who might? What about changing the flywheel to the Bosch style? Do you think that is possible? Is that part available anywhere? Thanks in advance

Just changing to a bosch style flywhee definitely didn't work it was not compatble. I will admit I never even saw most of those posts after I posted this cuz I ended up just throwing it in a box until the g u y to find his own ignition and eventually he did.

I bought both versions just to have them available but I have not tried them on a saw. I believe others have used them successfully but I can't say who that might have been.

I have quite a few 056 saws and about half have no spark.
