Stihl 020 avpe ignition
By: jcsmith Date: September 15, 2021, 12:24 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
From my research so far, this saw has a 2 piece transistor
ignition. The trigger unit is behind the flywheel and the coil
is outside of the flywheel. Is there a way to test both
components?Saw has no spark. Also wondering if parts are
available. I haven't gotten the engine out of the all metal
"clamshell" yet to check for loose screws, bad wires and
grounds. Saw is apart to the point where engine should come out
, but something is thwarting my effort. I don't have a shop
manual for this 1114 series saw. Any tips or help would be much
appreciated. This model was made from'74 to '76. I've been told
these were nice saws for 32cc.

The link Ray sent me was extremely helpful. Unfortunately it
only addressed points style ignition. I need info on the
transistor style ignition. I read somewhere that the trigger
unit is what normally goes bad. This is the worst saw I have
ever worked on.
Does anyone have any experience with this series saw? I have a
bad feeling parts will be hard to come by. I plan on checking
with Chainsawr when I have a complete list of parts I need. Any
help is appreciated.

look way down into the saw behind the muffle on the top left
side
you will see a hidden screw that needs to come out
also the new trigger is mounted to one of the hold down screws
on the coil .They are availible from a stihl dealer and will
eliminate
the points. They work great! I have an 020av super with that
setup

President, thanks for the reply. I got the engine out of the
fuel tank/fan/flywheel cover. I had all the screws removed, but
the impulse line,fuel line, and rubber boot were holding me up.
This saw is the professional electronic model with rear handle ,
and supposed to have a transistor ignition. This saw shouldn't
have points.
I don't have the correct flywheel puller, so does anyone have an
alternate method ?
President, did you have to remove the flywheel even tho the new
trigger mounted to the coil?
