Prepping it for tomorrow's outing, and it won't start. No spark getting to the plug.
Where do I get a service manual?
A PDF is preferable.

The plug wire and magneto are one molded unit. DO NOT try to pull the wire out, as you won't be able to get it back in. Good Luck!
The spark plug lead does screw out of the ignition module. Its is generally easier to just replace the module instead of trying to reroute the entire harness. Have done it that way many many times. Yes the failure rate of the ignition module has been more than I am comfortable with but the good news is the replacement modules have been just fine.

Even the newer ones are srewed in? I know the older ones were removable, but I was thinking the newer modules were one molded unit.
if your serious about the $10 "handling fee"there better off without you as a customer.Thought I'd follow up on this. I sent the saw to K&S Service Center in Albuquerque, about 60 miles south of here. They tested the saw and found the problem was indeed an intermittent in the ignition module. So they replaced in under warranty. To my surprise, they also installed a new spark plug and air filter under warranty.
They finished the repair the day after they received it and shipped it back USPS parcel post, who then took 3 days to move a box 60 miles... sheesh. So much for the efficiencies of privatization.
So I'm very pleased with their service. The only mistake they made is the $10 "handling fee" they charged to ship it back, in the same box I sent it in, even. Not very cool. If I wanted to make certain that a customer would come back, I wouldn't throw such a steep fee at them without prior warning. I plan on sending them a letter with my check and give them a little lecture about it.

you find that sad and an insult-- hmmm. yah the dealer should have had a man box and tape up your saw then take it to a shipper, no charge. sugarbush is right.I'm quite serious. I have a retail business and do a fair amount of shipping, and I'd never do that to one of my customers, especially a new one, unless I told them beforehand. Would you? Maybe so. Ten bucks to put a saw back in a box and tape it up is ridiculous.
How sad (and unfortunate) that you, a Dolmar dealer, would post such an insult.

Handling fee....doesn't UPS pick up as part of their services?
