Echo CS-330T won't run. Timing off?

Help Support Arborist Forum:
I had a saw recently that had a good spark but wouldn't run and I knew the intake system was good. I found out later that it had the wrong flywheel on it. Check the flywheel and ignition module part numbers against the illustrated parts list and make sure they are the right ones for that saw..
I've been looking on eBay at 330t flywheels and there's seems to be two different types. Trying to compare my pics with ones on eBay to see where mag would end up as my saw is at work. Looks like we're getting close
The saw I was working on had gobs of spark but was about a quarter turn off. I replaced the flywheel with the right part and it worked fine..

I use this for my Echo ipl. It shows 5 different series.

It's alive! Found a picture of a different flywheel on eBay. Took keyway off my crank and repositioned flywheel as best I could judging by the eBay flywheel. Pulled it over couple times and it fired up. Felt doggy but could be timing, carb, cold blooded(didn't run it long) Thank you everyone for the help. The strange thing is I looked the flywheel up on echos website and the flywheel I have on the saw is the correct one? Maybe the crank or short block was replaced with a different one and then they could never get it to run again. How is this crank put together? Could it have twisted somehow? I know Polaris snowmobiles had a problem with cranks twisting and timing would be off
Echo shows 5 ipls for the 330t. Looks like 2 or 3 different coil flywheel combinations. Depends on saw serial number. Pretty weird.
Did you check to see if the ignition module is the correct one?

I have rebuilt many of these CS330T.
185PSI compression is not uncommon for a low hours saw.
All have been close to this, so with 125PSI, you have a problem.
Some will start and some will not.
Something else to check would be crank seals. I have seen at least two with sprocket side seal pushed out??
If seals are leaking badly, it will not start

What are you calling "base seal" ?
