[AT] Fw: bad condensor?

[Mike Sloane]

It just came to me: A neighbor had a Stihl back about 10+ years ago that 
had that kind of problem. It was one of the first ones with "solid 
state" ignition module, and he said that Stihl admitted that there were 
serious problems with the modules getting hot and quitting. Otherwise it 
ran fine.
