Thought I had the Shindaiwa 500 sorted out, as I cut with it last weekend with no problems.
Was having problems with it not getting spark, but after some tinkering thought I had it fixed.
I regapped the new coil a couple times already, new plug, new switch wires, and even another new plug. Not sure what or how I fixed it, but finally got spark.
Well, went to start it today, and no spark. Not wanting to tear it apart again, tried pulling on it some more to see if something would happend.
But no luck. Went to dry the plug with the propane torch. Well, that led me to wonder what would happen if I took the whole saw to the heated basement and let it sit for a while.
I'll be dang if it didn't start on the first pull.... :bang:
Shut it off after cutting up and noodling some wood, started right back up. Let it sit for a few hours, pulled the plug, and had a fat, blue spark.
Coinkidink? Surely has me stumped...
I guess I'll see if I can let it get cold again and see what happens in the morning, or start cleaning out some space in the fridge...
