Stihl BR 400 problems..need help

[arska75]

Hi, could someone measure the resistance of primary coil, between those thin wires?
Ohter goes to kill switch and other to body.
secondary coil is about 7.4K ohm from spark plug wire to body.
Thanks.

Stihl does not offer any form of resistance testing for the coils. Based mostly on the fact that they are not true coils but modules and have internal chips and circuit boards, you will never get a good reading. Stihl's testing consists of spark or no spark, weak spark or loss of spark when hot, and kill circuit testing. If you isolate the coil and the kill circuit tests good, and your boot and connector are good, then your problem is with your coil and you just replace it.

okay, first the spark was weak when coil warmed, idle was good. now from coil cames only 30 volts ac. Maybe coil is End of life ;(
I have removed the kil circuit.
