Chainsaw coil

[Philbob1]

Today I had the pleasure to take apart a chainsaw, and I picked up the coil.

But, I can't find where to plug things into to make a circuit such as http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/high-po ... 10486.html

Can anyone help me?

Here are pics of it

im sorry to tell you, i was in the EXACT same boat as you a couple of months ago. I started a tread just like this one, and the result was that it wouldn't work. Idk maybe we missed something. might want to search for that thread

I have checked your thread, and I'll do some tests but will prolly just buy a car coil at home depot

Yeah, that's a magneto coil. It gets its power from current induced by spinning magnets attached to the starting drum. You'd be better off buying a car coil. Even better, make a flyback circuit...
