I have an old Stihl FS 36 that I am bringing back from the dead. Everything is ready to go except the ignition coil is shot/dead. I have found the part number which is this 4130 400 1300. I have also found the timing of the ignition coil is 1.6mm at 6,000 rpm. The timing can vary between 1.3-1.9mm. The reason I am presenting this information is because I cannot find the ignition coil for sale anywhere. I am curious if it possible to use another ignition coil that is still in production today instead.

It's not a FS 360 is it?

Try this......

closest i could find is this


Replaces OEM
Stihl -00004001300

Are you sure of the Stihl PN Scrubcat as the FS36 IPL here has it as PN 4130 400 1300 same as the OP posted?

No, i am not 100% sure of that part number, that the closest i could come to finding anything relatively close to it.
I couldn't get a hit on the FS36 model number anywhere to bring up diagrams either,. Unless i'm more computer illiterate than i thought, That's why i asked him if he was sure it wasn't a FS360 since thats all that showed when i entered in FS360.
Even though i think the 360 is a relatively new brush cutter.

Yes, I am sure the weedeater is a Shihl FS 36. It seems to have been made in the mid 90's (I think 94 was its first year in production).

Scrubcadet, Its not all that easy to find the Stihl IPLs as they are are suppose to be dealer only items just like the SM and parts. It is the newer Stihl unit that even harder to find IPL and SM for but I do have a source that I tap when I need get one that I don't have the manuals for as I kinda like having the them at hand so I can make my own notes on them.

The FS36 has a 4130 engine and the FS360 has a 4116 engine.

Here is an link to an online IPL of the old FS36.

If u have a FS36, it is also sold as fs44. Does this look right?
