I have a BR 400 backpack blower I bought used 10+ years ago. It has always taken too many pulls to start, but operated very well until now. It has a very weak intermittent spark and sometimes will run briefly. I concluded the coil is bad after replacing plug and checking kill circuit etc so I purchased a new coil from Amazon which is said to be the replacement for 4203 400 1301. It won't even mount in the frame because the secondary is on the bottom left instead of the top center. Other coils that appear to look right have one of the mounting holes too low and would appear to change the angle of the air gap assuming they would mount.
I think I need the original 4203 400 1301, but have not been able to locate it. The only marking on the original are Stihl and 11DA. I hope someone can provide guidance since I couldn't find any from Stihl and I wouldn't want to trash and otherwise much needed tool.
