Title: 1984 Husky 44 Ignition
Post by: johnaron on September 08, 2014, 01:50:43 pm
New to the forum, Tx….Can't get a spark. Probably coil. Original owner. Service / parts list 11, SX 84.023
Saw ID: s/n 5122228
Coil p/n 501-5972-01 Black potting, stamped on; Germany…2 204 222 65
Module p/n 505 32 55-39. Printed on; IIDA, EY850, JAPAN
My cheap ohmmeter(only one scale, smallest tick's 100 ohms) Spark plug cap to ground 8.5K. primary shows short. What should I read?
The module resistance is 4.5K
If the coil's bad, are there any replacements available?
Tx for any help!…. J Aronson, Litchfield, ME

No way to remove the laminated poles and use another model coil?

To aclarke, tx …..I think i can get the coil off the core. Next, where will I find a replacement coil. Does anyone rewind these things?
How can I be sure this one's really bad?
Tx.. J

Test resistance on primary/secondary coils, don't have specs on hand but I can look it up or some else may know an acceptable value off hand.   If you don't have a multimeter your local saw shop would be familiar with that procedure.  The laminated frame will usually come out easily if you hold the coil portion loosely in a vise.  I'm not familiar with that particular saw but the idea is to use the original coil frame that screws to your case and find a replacement coil portion that fits within the original. Space.  I've done this a few times and it may be a worth a shot if the oem piece is NLA ...

Read on the net that a Mac Titan coil may work too. Be worth a shot.

My mouse is broken can't right click for copy/paste.  See earlier post on Husky 44.  Husky 55 coil is supposed to work w/relocted mounting holes.  I have a bunch of 44 coils PM me if interested.

I'm back. Just got res.  from Lee at Bill's saw shop in Salamanca, NY (tx, Lee) . Pri 0.8 ohm, Sec 9Kohm. Just discovered my 8.6K jumps good to open by moving the plug wire around at the coil connection. The diag. shows the plug wire as a separate part #. Does this wire just plug into the coil assembly? I can spin the wire around at the junction. It doesn't pull out. Any help ?
TX all…. J

The plug wire screws into the coil, turn it anti-clockwise and it should disengage. Make a new wire or if yours is long enough you can just clip 1/4-1/2 inch off and screw it back in. Make sure you clip off it square at the end.

Thanks to all responders. The latest: My wire's OK, The coil secondary has finally opened up. It's apparently been feigning death for awhile, but has given up the ghost. I seems that I need a coil assembly if I'm to get this old chopper back in service. If Farmboy's on I'd like to hear if He's got this coil.
501-5972-01
Can someone tell me what the ignition module does and if mine checks out electrically. Reads 4.5Kohm.
Tx again to all….J Aronson, Litchfield, ME

The ignition module triggers the coil.

I'm back!  Found my SM on 40-44-340-444.  Doesn't give ohms for coil test did say if no spark replace trigger unit first.
