Ive checked the ground, made sure the surface was good, replaced the contact tip, checked the inside components to make sure no components were burned up or anything that looked off, everything seemed fine, checked all the wiring to see if anything was loose, everything was fine. I checked the ground wire to see if that was loose, i have no clue why its not working
I need this coil for a chainsaw im rebuilding, my old one doesnt work, what can i do? Ive looked all over ebay and the same chainsaw for parts on facebook marketplace
I went to an echo dealer and they said they have discontinued selling that coil because its so old. Ive looked on amazon ebay and marketplace. Its prolly gonna take a while until i find a parts chainsaw that is a 550 evl so im thinking to mabye speed up time, this is a shot in the dark but, does anybody have an echo 550 evl coil, or echo 510 evl coil (they are the same coil) that i could have. Just throw me a price and ill decide if its worth it for me.
Wasnt sure how to title this but i want to eventually have my own machine shop rebuilding engines.
Im 22 and im not anywhere close to having my own shop yet but that is my eventual goal i wanna work towards. Tell me if this plan that i have is flawed
I have started to work on lawnmowers and restoring them for a few months now because i tried to do a landscaping business with my friend and it failed (spoiler: partnerships dont work). But i learned how to work on our equipment and i found it to be quite interesting, i really found my enjoyment in machining by fabricating parts onto walk behind mowers and other pieces of equipment.
I want to slowly build up my knowledge and confidence on working on small engines over the course of a few years. I want to get a small lathe and mill to do small engine rebuilds. While i am learning how to work on these engines and basic machining i would also be flipping the engines for a profit.
After a few years of doing this i would build my own shop on my own property and slowly build up to having the equipment to do car engine rebuilds.
I would have to do all of this work on the side until i am confident enough, with enough equipment to do it full time
So ive been wanting to get into flipping small engines because i have a decent bit of knowledge on how to work on them and i enjoy working on them. I have absolutely no knowledge though on how to approach flipping small engines. What should i look for, is there a general rule of thumb on things to look for. I know i dont want to get something that is gonna be a lot of work and expensive to repair and i wouldnt make money on it. At the same time though, the things that have big problems are also the cheapest. How do i factor in how much id be making.
Im sure all these questions are gonna be something i learn with experience but are there any pointers yall could give me just as general rules of thumb.
Im having a hard time finding this coil online, anybody have ideas on a coil that is similar enough to this to where i can fabricate it on without too much machining?
Old echo chainsaw, rebuilt top end, great compression, all i need to do is get a new coil. The guy said he couldnt find one but i can try to get another one to fit ill just have to fabricate it in, what do yall think.
Edit: i changed the description i thought it was a husqvarna
