Those modules work great ! They are often brand named Atom, Nova, Laser or several other names. They sell for about $8 and up depending on where you buy it.
These modules are great. They are sold under a lot of different brand names but they all look exactly the same. I put one of these in an old chainsaw to replace the points and condensor. I keep one in my shop for the next thing that may need one. Sometimes when you want to get rid of the points and condensor on something you can just get an electronic ignition coil but for the times a coil like that isn't available you can get pop one of these on it and you're good to go.
Have you tried those on the older Echo chainsaws, CS 400, 440, 500, 650, series? The ign system on these are long obsolete & it's a crap shoot if used.
My JD garden tractor has this built into the magneto, no separate module, so folks should check their application before ordering one of these. The mag is of course more expensive than a standard one.
Doesn't do me any good if the coil is shot. I had a place sell me this and it didn't do anything for a failed coil. So now what? Can I replace an older Techumseh snowblower coil with a replacement. It seems the coil is built into the magneto housing. It pisses me off they sold me that useless part if the coil is bad. I think they thought it was for a newer engine or something. I think Techumseh reused the HM80 numbers on other equipment. I will be contacting them again tomarrow. I am frustrated at this point.
great i allway have the same problem my engine is 2 cyl and use point and condenser still trying to know how to replace it with a GM hei style ignition module :S
I put one of these on my 031av and it did seem to help, but I'm still having problems. I've tried both the original flywheel and a flywheel from an 031av electronic ignition saw and the original definitely works better, but it still doesn't seem to have much power. It dies whenever I put the saw to some wood. I took it to a shop, and they said it was a timing issue. I'm not sure what to do next. Do you have any ideas? Thanks.
+Todd Koeppel I'd Have the shop that ID'd it as a timing issue fix it.. If not I would experiment with the plug gap to see if it helps out. start by going smaller and then bigger .002" at a time.
Todd Koeppel i have worked on saws that had the same problem. the cranckshaft seals we re leaking on them. if you can start the saw, then spray WD-40 on the crank seals and it causes the engine to change speed, then the crank seals are sucking air and need replaced. you can check a cylinder base gasket the same way.
on older Tecumsehs, frequently the main bearings wear to the point engine will not stay in time, or run at least for very long. A really good machinist can put bearings in, which engine never had originally, for $$$.
Unless it was mounted in a position that it couldn't cool itself, which is important there had to be a wiring issue could be that there was a bad diode somewhere in the factory wiring that was causing feedback.
I ordered the exact same part and installed it on the exact same snowblower and while I now get spark and it runs great the key is backwards. it runs with the key in the off position and kills with it in the on position. I thought maybe I plugged the two wire connector into the key backwards but it still operates the same (backwards) when I turn the connector around. It's a simple system. 1 wire from the coil to the + of the new module, then 1 wire out of the - side of the module to the kill switch then out to ground. any idea what might be causing this?
@@LeboView it's technically not possible. if you reverse the module then it doesn't start and if you reverse the kill switch then it's still backwards, no matter how you wire it, which only has 2 ways anyway.
How exactly does this adapter ignition work? The original briggs module is direct in front of magnet when flywheel passes for direct timing.. The older magnetos need a mechanical cam for exact timing. How does this module get it's signal to fire at proper timing if just bolted to sheetmetal.
I have an Onan generator with 2 cylinders it has points no flywheel no starter no Magneto the coil has to wires coming out of it one for each cylinder will this device work?
Is it a horizontal or V? Also does the coil connect to a battery? I have a welder with an onan 18hp horizontal engine. The gm hei module was a better fit. It can be wired to use points as its firing trigger.
@@ryancarr7808 search gm hei points trigger. Here is the 1st good one I found. www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/how-to-trigger-hei-using-stock-points-dist.978979/ The hei module takes care of dwell. You just have to get timing right. It can also be triggered by VR sensors. Typically older GM crank angle sensors.
@@ryancarr7808 at an auto parts store if it's an old guy behind the counter ask for a gm hei module. Young guy ask for the ignition module for a 1979 chevy camaro with a v8. Don't pay a lot for them they will be under worked on a two cylinder.
