So I'm continuing the journey of replacing the condenser on my C52, and I've noticed after putting the whole point,coil,condenser assembly back on the crank shaft, the flywheel is not turning as it's on way to tight, so I'm wondering about air gap for the coil and how to do that. I've not had a coil/point set up both under the flywheel before. Thanks for all and any help

Not familiar specifically with the C52 but yah, you are likely rubbing the flywheel on the coil lamination's. It should be adjustable with the flywheel on, but again, I'm not certain on this model. Whatever bolts are holding down the coil or coil/condenser/points assembly, usually are slotted and have just enough slop in them to allow for adjustment. Loosen them up just enough to allow movement, turn the flywheel so the magnets want to pull the coil over to it and slide a normal business card or a heavy playing/poker card in between. Tighten up the bolts/screws, pull out the card and all should be well. Without checking the spec sheet, I think the air gap is supposed to be around .012-ish and it's not incredibly critical.

If a C52 isanything like my C91 the coil spacing is not adjustable, the coil laminations are built into the same unit that holds the breaker box.
What's the history of the saw? Did you change anything recently? Aftermarket coils are known for interfering with the flywheel on the top and need to be filed down in many cases.

Thanks for all and any help The Homelite Chainsaw Service Shop Manual 5th Edition has the procedure for checking the rotor to armature core clearance and how to modify the core mounting to gain clearance on the C-52. |
