Need Coil For Homelite XL12 Chainsaw

I have an old Homelite XL12 chainsaw. The ignition coil has quit working. The model number is UT-104474. Does anyone know where I can purchase a new coil for this saw. The saw is quite old and has points under the flywheel.

Here's one currently on eBay:

But are you sure that it isn't just your kill switch that's shorting out ?

Positive, I checked the on/off switch with an ohm meter. It works properly

Pioneer chainsaw: kill switch problem

electric on Mar 14, 2015

Hi I have a p41 saw made in the 1980s I replaced the cylinder and piston, the kit came with a new flywheel and coil the instructions said they had to changed for the new cylinder,after installing them the on / off switch no longer works the saw will start with the switch in the on or off position it will not shut when you put the switch to off. I checked the wires and they are all connected none are broken. Not sure how to test the switch only has 1 wire going to it. When I pull the wire off the switch and ground it to the metal housing the saw shuts off. Not sure if I have something wired wrong? Maybe someone has some ideas,a wiring diagram, photo from an original p41. Thank You for your help.Read More

Have very low compression (can turn flywheel by hand w/plug in and nominal air pushed out of plug hole). Have adjusted the valves - repeatedly. Engine won't start. Pushrods are fine - valves appear to be opening and closing, albeit the intake (lower) opens more than the exhaust (have no idea if this is normal). Head gasket does not appear blown (no oil blowing out). Read elsewhere here that the flywheel key might be sheared - timing off. Would someone tell me how I would verify this? Any other suggestions of what to look at would be welcomed. Engine is at least 8 years old and has been burning oil. Replaced a broken intake pushrod - since then, no start up. Thanks.Read More
