Model 029, 039 Chain Saws - Series 1127

Contents

1. Wiring harness, grommet, additional ground wire
2. Muffler mounting (nuts, conical

   spring washers, sheet metal gasket)

1.   Wiring harness, ground wire

The following changes will be made to eliminate
isolated cases of trouble with the wiring harness/
ground wire:
- Modified wiring harness
- Grommet for wiring harness and
     ignition lead

- Second ground wire between ignition module
     and cylinder
- Optimized routing of wiring

An instruction label with a pictogram (tighten filler
cap properly) will be bonded to the tank housing of

machines that incorporate the above-mentioned
changes.

The interim solution described in 1.1 differs very
slightly from the line modification planned for the
future and outlined in 1.2. This has to be taken into

account in the event of any repairs that may be
necessary at a later date. Both of these modifica-
tions are equally good.

1.1 Interim solution

An additional ground wire was installed as an
interim solution in a large number of machines
before the modified wiring harness was introduced.
Apart from the instruction label on the tank hou-
sing, these machines can be identified by a 15 mm
                                                                    1
(5/8") long tube (1) which is fitted over the additio-
nal ground wire. This tube is positioned so that it
rests on the ignition lead (see illustration). These
machines have no grommet for the wiring harness
and ignition lead.
                                                                        139TI001

Service note

Wiring harness:
The new wiring harness 1127 440 3001 must be
used as a replacement for a defective wiring
harness on these machines. Install the completely
preassembled ignition module (with grommet
1125 084 8900 for the wiring harness and ignition
lead) in the engine housing. Make sure the tube
(1) is removed before re-attaching the additional
ground wire.
The tube (1) and grommet 1125 084 8900 must
not be used together.

Ground wire:
Use a new ground wire 1123 440 2200 to replace
a faulty additional ground wire (damaged insulation

or broken). Pull the tube off the faulty ground wire,
slip it over the new ground wire and position it so
that it rests on the ignition lead.

1.2 New line modification

Machines from No. X 30 222 572 will come
standard with the new version of the wiring
harness 1127 440 3001 in place of the original
wiring harness 1127 440 3000. The new wiring

harness is passed through the grommet
1125 084 8900 (arrow) together with the ignition
lead. Ground wire 1123 440 2200 is installed
additionally between the ignition module and

cylinder. The additional ground wire is equipped
with strengthened cable lugs (0.8 mm/0.03" thick).

                                                                                       139TI002

A label (pictogram) bonded to the tank housing
reminds the user that the fuel filler cap has to be
properly tightened down with a suitable tool after

fueling.

Service note

Depending on the fault, use the new wiring

harness 1127 440 3001 or the ground wire
1123 440 2200 for repairs.
The grommet 1125 084 8900 and instruction label

are also available as replacement parts (see
Summary).

1.3 Conversion and repair of original
    versions of machine

All model 029 and 039 saws brought into STIHL             If it is found that only one ground wire is
servicing dealers for repairs or servicing must be        installed between the ignition module and
checked to ensure that the additional ground wire         cylinder, it is absolutely essential to fit the
is fitted.                                                additional ground wire.

The scope and type of conversion necessary            If wiring harness is damaged:
depend on the condition of the wiring harness.        Initially, install the complete new wiring harness
                                                      (with grommet 1125 084 8900) and then use the
If wiring harness is in good condition:               conversion kit 1127 007 1010 (or 1127 007 1009
Use the conversion kit 1127 007 1010 (or              for USA) to upgrade to the latest line status (see
1127 007 1009 for USA) to fit the additional          1.2). Important: The additional ground wire must

1.4 Fitting instructions for additional
    ground wire

-   At connection point A on the cylinder, fit both
    cable lugs with their flat sides against one
                                                           A
    another (the lug of the additional ground wire
    must be on top). Cable lugs must be exactly
    aligned with one another and be about 2 to

    6 mm (0.08"-0.24") away from the cylinder
    base (see ill.).                                               2.
                                                                     ..6
-   Tighten screw (A) to 4.0 Nm (3 lbf.ft).                             m
                                                                            m

-   Do not damage or weaken cable lugs by
    bending them to shape.
                                                                                    139TI003

-   At connection point B, fit both cable lugs
    with their flat sides downward (the lug of

    the additional ground wire must be at the
    bottom).
-   Tighten screw (B) to 4.8 Nm (3.5 lbf.ft).
-   Use suitable blunt tool to push ground wire

    into the slot (see arrow).
                                                                        B

                                                                                   139TI004

Note:
The 0.8 mm (0.03") thick cable lugs used for the
wiring harness and the ground wire cannot be
fitted with a standard commercial crimping tool.
For this reason replacement wiring harnesses and
ground wires are only available as assemblies.

2.   Muffler mounting

In the foreseeable future the original exhaust
gasket 1127 149 0600 (0.75 mm/0.03" thick) will
be replaced by a 1 mm (0.04") thick sheet metal
gasket. The new gasket has improved setting
properties. The muffler mounting will be further
improved by the use of higher strength flange
locknuts and conical spring washers. The new
gasket 1127 149 0650 is supplied as a replace-
ment together with three conical spring washers.

                                                                                        139TI005
Note:

Check that conical spring washers are properly

installed as shown in illustration.
