Chainsaw rebuild

Watching this....I love tinkering with old gas engines and seeing if I can bring them back from the dead.

Alright here we are with the crank case cover back on, flywheel back on and the coil pack back on...anyone have any idea how close the coil pack contacts are suppose to be flywheel? Too close and the fly wheel doesn't turn properly. I backed them till they weren't touching any more and the flywheel spun without hesitation.

I'm sure this is very scientific, but I have always used a business card between the flywheel and coil pack on lawn mowers. It seemed to work ok.

I do the same on Stihls and have had 0 issues.

That's actually sounds like a good idea thank you

Business card does set the gap correctly.

I did that. Got the darn thing running pretty good. Beat the daylights out of me every time that I used it. Have fun tinkering. Get it running and cut some wood, then put it away and go buy a new Stihl or Husqvarna.
