I know, all we need is fuel, spark, air and compression.
Filter is new, and this puppy won't even try to start on a little carb cleaner !
So, yes I've tried a new plug, and spark testing. I can see a blue spark at the plug.
I've tried a spark testing tool. This saw will spark with a 4mm gap on the tester, but nothing greater. I know that translates to kva or the strength of the spark.
My old trusty Mcculloch will spark at a 6mm gap so naturally it's stronger.
Anybody tested a ms170 with a spark tester to know that lighting up a 4mm gap is strong enough? Or other tests?
