Hey all,
Echo GT160AE whipper snipper
Module has failed
Echo part # 15060126630 , no longer available

Will any other fit I.e. stihl item

Any tricks to try and open and repair but it doesn't look like it is made to be opened.
At a loss to next step to be honest.

As far as I know can't cross fit oem parts.

As your current parts have you ohmed out the coil and and the trigger coil? I f they are passing the ohms test then might a timing issue.

Now all electronic trigger coil from another Echo might work but I have never tried that either.

As opening coil modules that are basically just step up transformer with an inductor as the trigger.

Tried eBay mate? Might be able to source one from overseas (e.g. USA), but the postage will be horrendous.

Secondhand. This was one of the cheaper end of the postage I could find.

New. This will likely be the higher end of postage options.
