Homelite V1 130 SL ignition problem

[robcleveland]

I have a Homelite V1 130 SL
Model UT50177. Serial # TG 00072. Built by Terry in Pointe Claire, Quebec, Canada.
It has great compression and have just replaced the gas line hose which had decomposed over time. 
Unfortunately the blue Prestolite ignition module seems to be defective and its not getting spark to the plug.
Any help on locating a replacement would be appreciated!
Thanks.

You have a couple of options. You can bake it to see if it will come back to life or buy a new on, they are on eBay. For baking go here.

Welcome to the House of Homelite! Have you checked the board on ignition? houseofhomelite.proboards.com/board/36/ignition-system

There are replacements being made for some of those modules, I can't put my finger on the right thread just now but I will bet that someone who knows will be along very soon.

Edit: Soon was the wrong word, undee beat me to it! :{)

Standard Magneto is reproducing the blue coils. Hopefully not with the same defect.

Welcome Rob ...

Remove the armature from the module .Inspect and clean the system ground connection between module and armature.
