Hello all, I'm new to the site so I hope I'm posting in the right area and don't make anyone mad ect. But here goes....someone gave me an ms460 Stihl saw and it had a damaged rear handle so I replaced it with aftermarket ebay (fully complete) handle... and after that it wouldn't start. It came with new wires and they were pre plugged up in the handle part then I had to put them on the coil but they can only go one way as 1 bolts on and the other slips on. So I seen that I was getting fuel so I checked spark and there was no spark. I took the ground wire off of the coil and it starts and runs but have to shut it off by choaking the saw until it stalls out. My suspicion is in the selector but I'm not sure what to look for or how to open it up without damaging it so I thought is reach out to the forum to see if there were any who may have had this problem and have had a positive solution.... Thanks in advance
