Stihl GS 461 - Wiring harness

43GS 461
6.6 Wiring harness
Ground wire and short circuit wire
are combined into one wiring
harness.
6.6.1 Testing
Check the short circuit wire if the
spark plug and ignition lead with
spark plug boot are in order.
– Remove starter, b 7.2
: Pull short-circuit wire (1) out of
the cable holder (2)
: Remove connector (3)
: Connect the ohmmeter to
ground (4) and the short circuit
wire (1)
– Set Master Control lever to "0"
The resistance measured must be
approx. 0 Ω. If it is much higher, the
reason is a break in the wire and the
wiring harness must be replaced,
b 6.6.
– Set Master Control lever to "F"
The resistance measured must be
infinitely high, otherwise replace the
wiring harness, b 6.6.

The ground wire must also be
tested for contact and continuity.
If the ground wire is damaged, the
wiring harness must also be
replaced.
– If no fault can be found, test the
ignition system in accordance
with flow chart, b 6.7
: Fit connector (3) of short-circuit
wire (1) with the crimped side
facing the ground wire
: Press short-circuit wire (1) into
the cable holder (2) so that there
is no tensile load
– Connector tab and blade
receptacle must run parallel to
the edge of the ignition module
The compensation for longitudinal
movement of the short-circuit
wire (1) is between the crankcase
and the cable holder of the ignition
module
: Press short-circuit wire (1) into
the guide (2) – the protective
tube (3) must be flush with the fin
(arrow)
– Install starter, b 7.2

6.6.2 Ground wire
Functioning of the short circuit wire
may be impaired or made
impossible by a damaged ground
wire.
The ground wire is incorporated in
the wiring harness of the short-
circuit wire, if it is damaged, replace
the whole wiring harness.
– Perform contact and continuity
test on ground wire,
replace wiring harness if
necessary
