stihl BR400 ignition coil install

watch me goof up with a little "boo" interruption, lol.

Silent videos were good for the 40s we can't always see what you're doing, but if we can hear you I'll be a great help!

@@luiscotto8405 is what it is. I can't go back in time.

Thank you for the videos on this blower 👍🏻

You didn't have to take the spark plug out to install the orange. How thick was the spacer gauge you used? Paper or cardboard the thickness of a book of matches? Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@simplemrtug]

I just used a business card for the spacer. And I think I did take the spark plug out to reinstall the orange cover.

Hey, did you have any spark before replacing the ignition coil?
I have a spark (and a new plug), cleaned the carb, replaced the gas, removed the spark arrestor, cleaned the muffler but my 340 would not start.

[@simplemrtug]

I did not have spark. I Tested the spark plug to make sure it was good.

[@DH-mf2lv]

My replacement OEM coil does not come with the spark plug cap. Can I remove the wire from the old coil easily and use it? In other words does it unplug from the coil? Thanks.

[@simplemrtug]

Not sure about that question, sorry. My new one came with the cap

[@DH-mf2lv]

Can you remove the coil without taking the carburetor loose? Does the coil wire unplug from the coil you bought? Thanks.

[@simplemrtug]

@D H I did not have to mess with the carb., that I can remember. And I believe the wire did not detach

[@glennd7115]

The wire does not detach but you can remove the boot and coil spring to put on new wire. Not too difficult.
