Coils are usually engine specific, the number of bolts does not determine whether or not it will work. If you really want your chainsaw to work correctly - buy the right part. It's a cheaper than a new one! Using the model number you supplied, I found them for under $50, which is about the value of an old 050 Stihl -wow, that's a heavy old saw. If you are still (Stihl ;^ )) not sure, call a Stihl repair facility. There may be an old timer mechanic who knows.
Hello. STIHL Canada doesn't list either the 510 or the 760, it seems to be a STIHL USA item (??)Here is the link for the manual. It is about 1/3 of the way down the page listed under the heading " Construction Tools ", on the right hand side.
There could be a few problems. Check the air filters and make sure that no holes are present in them. Then check to make sure the unit has compression. A general check of the compression for a Stihl unit is to hold the unit up by the rope and it should hold itself up. If it slips down really quick or if it does not hold itself for more than a couple of seconds before the rope starts coming out, then the unit is low on compression and will need a new piston and cylinder.
Also another thing to check is the carburetor. With the new fuel with ethanol/methanol in it, it can damage parts in the carburetor. The sealant that went over the welch plugs will come off and it will flood the unit out because there is no regulation of the fuel going into the engine. You can try putting new sealant, such as clear fingernail polish over them, and see if it holds and will regulate the fuel correctly. If the air filters have holes in them then the low compression could be caused from dirt ingestion and it could have caused wear on the main bearings. You can check for bearing wear by seeing if the flywheel or the clutch will move up and down and sided to side. If this is the case then you will need to purchase a new unit.
i roadworks63. Pull off the right side cover to expose the recoil, remove the rest of the rope. Now rewindthe pully c.c.wise until it stops then release it just enoughto align the rope holes,use a C clamp to hold the pully from unwinding. Insert the rope enough to tie a knotHeat the knot to make it hard,now slowly let the pully re..turn or unwind tieon the handle. You are home free.
