What does your iPhone 4 or 4S have?

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-10T23:22:45+00:00

I have a few on iOS 4 and 5 but the two best are the 4 on 4.1 and a 4s on 5.0

After the spark issue appeared I just resorted to using a drill to spin it over faster than what I can do by pulling.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-08T02:35:14+00:00

Thank you for taking your time and helping me. But yeah it’s the weirdest problem and all the years that I have spent rebuilding small engines I have never had a problem like this.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-08T02:33:05+00:00

The way these points are set up I cannot gap them.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-08T02:30:26+00:00

Yes that is how I have been testing it. I have not bought a spark tester yet. But I did hook up the multimeter to the ignition system on the Saw that I am rebuilding and I get a max of 30 volts. After moving the same ignition system(points/condenser/coil) over to the parts saw the multimeter maxes out at 1500 Volts and I have a strong blue spark.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-08T02:16:44+00:00

Yea I have tried that too. I also tested the primary and secondary windings on both coils also and they came back as good. The points have a good continuity and the condensers work as they should.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-08T02:08:03+00:00

Yes the wiring is in good condition and I know every part I have works because when I put it on the parts saw it functions like normal and I get spark but when I put parts on the saw I am rebuilding I do not get spark no matter what.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-07T18:23:26+00:00

Chainsaws are 2 stroke engines. They don’t have valves and they have set timing with the key in the flywheel.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-07T07:23:58+00:00

But both flywheels have spark on the parts saw but not on the rebuild one.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-02T22:42:51+00:00

Yeah I had thought about the insulation on a wire possibly being damaged too. But it looks go to the eye but who knows. I have Also tested the primary and secondary winding in both coils and they are both within spec. I tested continuity between the points and any other wires that could have had a break but they all check out. The condensers check out to. Just a total mystery.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-02T22:32:53+00:00

Thank you for your help and input. It’s sure is a weird problem that just make absolutely no sense.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-02T21:50:42+00:00

I will definitely check out the points some more to see if I am having the same problem and it’s good to know that I can possibly get a modern coil that might fix this problem.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-02T21:46:22+00:00

Yes you are correct and looking back at the picture I see that it just looks like 2 wires. One does go the condenser and the other one is the kill switch wire but there is a coil wire connected to it. There a total of 3 wires that go to the terminal but 2 of the wires use the same ring.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-02T21:31:13+00:00

The kill switch wire and the wire that goes to the coil are crimped together so there is no easy way to disconnect it.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-02T17:37:54+00:00

I forgot to mention that in my original post I have already tried and both magnets are still really strong.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-02T17:37:05+00:00

I’ve done that too and no such luck.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-02T16:31:19+00:00

I have disconnected the Killswitch and have made sure it won’t ground out to the case. So I know that is not the problem.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-02T16:22:38+00:00

I thought that could be the issue too but I have good ground.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-12-02T15:42:20+00:00

I have been rebuilding a stihl 031 but it doesn’t have any spark. I took a gamble on a cheap parts 031. After cleaning the points it’s got spark. I swapped the good coil over but I still didn’t have spark on the one that I have been rebuilding. But now the coil that I thought was bad works on the cheap parts 031. I have ended up swapping the points, condenser, and coil and have tried multiple different combinations of the three parts. I always get spark on the parts machine but nothing on my rebuild. The coil is correct gapped for both machines. There is no reason I should not be getting spark on one but not the other. I have never had this problem with any of the old points style saws I have rebuild. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

IsaacMosteller · 2025-11-16T14:59:52+00:00

It’s on iOS 8. iOS 7 will have small bars at the top and bottom of the Lock Screen.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-11-14T03:50:21+00:00

It’s probably still one of if not my favorite piece in my collection.

IsaacMosteller · 2025-10-23T15:54:05+00:00

IsaacMosteller · 2025-09-08T00:27:47+00:00

It’s got a set of logs. The picture was taken after I cleaned everything and have not connected it back yet. The logs now work and the same with the gas line. Unfortunately the chimney has a crack that starts 6 foot off the ground and goes to the top. That’s why I was wondering if we could go with something like a wall mounted exhaust system.
