echo pb-500t coil replacement, no spark

[@donthegardener8670]

Thankfully the new coil has a insulation cover on it now! I was getting heart disturbing shocks jumping out of my elbow!!!!

Hey question, Replaced carb with eom, spark plug and there’s spark, but still won’t turn on. Gas is several months old, should I empty it out and replace with new gas? Thoughts? Thanks

[@wrenfan]

My blower will intermittently start and then die. Sometimes it would not start at all. I had replaced the carburetor. When I check for spark it seems faint. Hard to see without a test adapter inserted between the spark plug and coil. I changed the gas and disconnected the kill switch wire without success. Is there any way to test the coil or just replace it and see if it fixes the problem. When you replaced the one in the video what were your symptoms? Any help would be appreciated. I inserted a business card to set the gap when I removed and reinstalled the existing coil.

if the spark is yellow its probably a bad coil

[@wrenfan]

@@smallengineguys I measured the coil with an ohmmeter. The primary was 304 ohms and the secondary was over 20M ohms. It seems like it is a bad coil. I will update after installing new coil. Thanks for the prompt reply.

What were the symptoms that led you to replace the ignition coil? My 580 starts up and runs fine when cold but starts to miss once hot and then shuts off and won’t start back up until it cools down.

[@smallengineguys]

This had 0 spark. Yours is intermittent spark. Either the plug or the coil.

[@JLCLawn]

@@smallengineguys replaced the plug, fuel filter, air filter and recently the carburetor. So I guess I’m onto the coil lol

[@smallengineguys]

@@JLCLawn yeah so maybee thats it lol. I always remove the muffler and check for damage on the piston first.

@@smallengineguys my blower has intermittent spark sometimes it’ll have none or very weak. tried everything but ignition coil. Hope that does the trick.

[@smallengineguys]

@@manasseh7 its the coil. If thats the last thing to try. Not a very hard job youll be fine.

Thanks for sharing your video.

[@smallengineguys]

My pleasure

I had a Echo 413T with no spark. I replaced the ignition coil. Still no spark. I watched this video which made me check the magnets by the coil. They were not lined up. I lined them up and spark

[@smallengineguys]

NICE

[@Mr1forthefun]

What is the gap suppose to be?

[@smallengineguys]

not sure actual measurement. I've always used a business card

[@bobbrown9277]

Replace with new coil an still no spark. Now total loss

[@smallengineguys]

Did you check for shorts in the kill wire? Disconnect kill wire try again. Change plug. Im willing to bet its a fuel issue. Spray carb cleaner in carb. Hold full throttle pull till it starts. If it starts its a carb. Coil does a bright blue spark. You have to use a spark tester to see it.
