@Vrider97 Жыл бұрын
@@mannyo2909 , I ended up having other problems with the lightweight MS 180, so I did not replace the cord. I ended up buying the MS 250 instead. I'm not sure if the parachute cord would work on the 250, because the cranking pull is totally different from that on the 180. Pulling the cord on the 180 has almost no resistance, since it easily winds some kind of spring that then releases and cranks the engine. However, on the 250, there is a direct connection to the engine, so the pull pressure on the cord is MUCH stronger. I think on the 250, I'd use the pull cord from Stihl. Just my thoughts. :)

I recently had problem on my trimmer every time I started I pulled the rope out of the plate. the knot was clean so was the hole. I reinstalled it and I could pull like crazy on it and it would stay put but as soon as I was to start the machine it popped out again, easily. Clean as a whistle, hole and knot intact. now I installed slightly longer rope as I thought it might be that I was pulling it fully. everything okay for now and it better be if it wants to win my trust again! :D lousy swed

That is nice information to know and if I can get my MS-250 to start, I may end up having to replace my rope. Right now the only saw I have which works fine is my old Poulan saw. It have given me great service since getting it in 2000 new. Since my Stihl saw never worked for me, I just purchased a new Poulan Pro which I have not used yet. My main problem with the Stihl saw is getting it to start. I tried the instructions which came with the saw, but it didn't work. The Stihl saw have been in the shop several times and it still don't start like it should, but the other saw starts just fine.

@MrRmh348112 жыл бұрын
Check all the wiring before replacing the module including soldering the connections and ohm check the switch and magnatron coil to see if there are any problems anywhere. Usually the modules dont wear out. The module can be shorted which means it will not work at all. Since you have weak spark go over the wiring, checking for places that it might have rubbed through arcing or shorting to ground. Finally use an ohm meter to check the specs on the coil and off switch.
