First of all, I don't know the history on this saw but it doesn't look like it has been abused. When I got it I checked for spark & with an adjustable spark checker it jumped a 3/16" gap. Compression test showed 120lbs. Disassembled the carb, cleaned, & put a kit in it...which I've done many times with good results. Put the old Champion plug back in because it was pretty clean...since then I've tried a new Champion & a new NGK. The very first time I pulled it I got a little hiccup but nothing at all since. If I pull on it for a while the plug will get wet but not fire off or even try to start. I've tried the adjusting screws in various positions from 1/2 turn out to 1 1/2 turns and no change. I have spark...I have compression...I have fuel...but I do not have a running saw! :msp_mad: I've never seen it happen on a saw but I did pull the flywheel off to make sure the "key" cast in was ok & it was.
Any thoughts or ideas on what I should check next?
