Chainsaw Repair

TS shared some info with me on the saw.

That's the newer smooth style arctic handlebar with a different resistance value than what the generator is... they overheat and don't work you need to update the element in the rear handle and the generator... glad you walked away.

 I've learned that if you don't have copious parts to back up one crossed wire you shouldn't own Arctics....

Two Versions of Arctic Stihl' s
Single Generator Wire Version (looks like speaker cable) ...only contains a handlebar heater and rear handle heater ...

Double Wire Generator Version (Green and yellow wires)
Handle bar and handle heater plus a heater for the carb with thermostat switch that operates below 70°F...

These two don't interchange and have vastly different resistance values
