you just saved me all kinds of time, effort and money. I used to own a Mowing company that mowed and trimmed for the state of TX and the U.S. Corp of Engineers. Have worked on many of weed eaters . Retired now and have had a Stihl for about 7 years.. Only problem I have had is the gas filter in the tank, and the muffler screen, also build up in the exhaust port , that is until now, The plug has week fire and a new plug wouldn't fix it. Figured I should just buy a new one as the local guy charges 75 a hour to work on one with one hr min. I tore it apart and figured it was scrap. Thanks again.. I now have a nice running machine once again. apologize for the poor wording , kind of in a hurry. Drurry

I think this video is very helpful. I also noticed a comment that you did not test the coil and this is because the coil also has an ignition module built inside and cannot be repaired. So if you have no spark you must replace the complete unit so it would be an unnecessary test to do and show. It would be a different situation if the electrics had a separate ignition module or even points and condensor, then you do need to test the coil.Good helpful video with clear and easy instructions on how to replace a dead coil unit.

I found a much better way to test the coil. Take a nail and wrap a copper wire around the one end of the nail. Then put the nail in the spark plug cap and give the other end of the wire to a friend who is helping you out but knows nothing about engines. Tell him or her to hold down the engine with their other hand and give the rope a pull. If the friend jumps and starts yelling the coil is good. If not then you know its bad.

If use your meter on ohms, go from the arm that goes thru the center of the coil (core)or the arm that goes toward the magnet. Then the other lead goes to the spade connection coming out of coil, you should see no ohms or an open. If you read anything between these two points then the coil is shorted to ground which is the same as having the switch off. Which the switch actually shorts the coil or ignition module to ground.

why does it spark across a tester and not a plug?
@keithlewis82383 жыл бұрын
Watch the video again, it didn't jump across the tester because it didn't work

i got a Honda gx35 4 stroke grass trimmer and every time i start it @ first 5 mins it runs ok... but when it starts to warm up it begins sound like its been choke or something....runs sluggish ..tried to rev it and it dies immediately.. test the ignition coil.. and it tells infinite numbers which worries me ... is that mean i have a faulty ignition coil?
@funbro19 жыл бұрын
Min Es If it starts right back up but doesn't rev then I would say that you are looking at something wrong with the carb. If it doesn't start back up then the coil might be the next place to look. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

wont start after ... when it cools down a bit starts smooth then it gets rough again .. i did some experiment thou .. using my hand drill then a device just like yours checking for sparks.. and saw the sparks is not constant.. breaks randomly.. test the ohms and it goess really go down from 6k ohms to .7ohms.. so i guess 100% i got a faulty ignition module

Replace a new coil with a new plug last year, the Fs 90 running great, last week 06/06 /20 , it’s stalled after 15 minutes, check the plug, it went bad ( 6 m ohm), replace new plug , it run again. ? ? ? A new plug total running time less than 7 hours ! ? ? ?

maybe could have checked the gap of the old coil first? and is there supposed to be continuity on the old coil's terminals at all or not?

Gap was good first, and there should be continuity. Thanks for watching.

LividLeon Any authorized Stihl dealer should either have the part or be able to get the part for you. What city do you live in? You could also check on eBay if you don't need the part right away.

Seems alot of 2 stroke engine coils go bad internally. Anyone know why? I bought a small King generator--one 10 minute use and no spark. $40 dollars USA is alot for a machine that is worth $100 dollars new. By the way--rust build up between the coil forks and the magnets could be a problem. However great presentation and professional done. Thanks :^)

Worse if your engine sort of runs ok but shuts down after 10-20 mins hot and fuel system is ok?? Drove me crazy till i realized the coil was de- laminating and shorting when HOT! I guess to test you could put a hair dryer on the coil and watch the resistance go down a bit? and then suddenly short out!!
