In my experiences I've found more problems with breakage of the horseshoe connector thingy. Maybe from being overtightened? Or a solder joint shaking loose on the horseshoe thingy. Of course "thingy" is a Homelite tech term. Very rarely does the coil go bad, but the plug enhancer spring does his tendency to grab the plug when being taken apart and if not paying attention is easy to pull it out of kilter, stretched in other words. Leon, great vijayo. I use the prime down the gut method. If no chunka, then on to the next " what might it be" head scratch scenario. Most of the time it's the on/off switch. Twas an idiot betweenst the switch and the pull cord. Cheers. K
A no contact voltage tester can check for spark. Might take two people though. One person to hold the no contact tester at the transformer while the other pull over the saw.
If you have a no contact rpm tester for saws or any engine you can use it to see if there is spark as it is just a no touch voltage tester with a digital counter for determining rpm’s
Hi Leon !! I couldn’t tell real good by the video, but it looks like your Fluke meter has a min/max button on it. All you have to do is set the dial on the voltage you want to check , then press the min/max button and the meter will automatically hold your minimum and maximum value for you .
Now Jonsered has a similar setup on for instance the 410, and I do believe the voltage from the primary coil is at least 120 V. But it is most likely a short spike. The voltage builds up and cuts off in the time the permanent magnets pass by the laminated core of the coil. So that would be 120 V going up your fingers. Well, an electric fencing is perhaps 10 000 V; and that will shock you, because it goes through your heart.
Holy crap Leon! Just got a 360 with no fire! Thanks for the information! Mike in Massachusetts

Awesome video! I have always wondered how to do this.

Where can I buy the transformer ?
I respectfully need a transformer,, please,, ok please please.. Am I sol ? Just tell me straight I can take it.
Looking for that a-12299-as. Cannot locate one anywhere.........
Is this 360 for sale by any chance?
I can't find a coil for my 360
Whay the gringos talk toomuch and don.t go to the point?
