Hey Everyone!!!

This is a video I have been wanting to make for a long time... and I'm happy to report the repair was a success!!! My Stihl 056AV is ready to rip now, complete with 24" bar.

This is a step-by-step how-to replace the Bosch ignition on my Stihl 056AV chainsaw. This ignition needs to be either repaired or replaced, and you'll know when the saw starts to bog down / loses power when warm. It will also work with several other models with the Bosch ignition, which fails over time.

Here is the original thread on Arboristsite.com with the step-by-step repair if you wish to save some money and do the repair yourself:

Here is the (almost) plug and play part which I ordered from the below website. Keep in mind you need to use the website to find the exact replacement for your saw.

If you have any questions, their customer service was awesome!!!

Hope this video helps,
