I had almost forgot what a pleasure/joy these saws are to work on, almost!

Fixed it finally....

I can`t see where the OP`s clip is grounding out from his picts, the nylon/plastic should be keeping it insulated from ground.

We call them "pics" here in the states......
BTW....

We need the OP to come back and show/tell us where its grounded.

Looks like he called it right, and it was actually grounding on the flywheel!!

 

[pioneerguy600]

It should not, there should be plenty of room to keep them separated.

True, my version/virgin is different... I don't have the white round cover....

I took some more pics of the tab/prong that the slide is supposed to contact to shut the saw down, and I tried to wipe off
some crud, and the contact bent easily, from me just trying to wipe it off.
So I am guessing that his is bent up and rubbing the flywheel and grounding out his ignition.

 

[HarleyT]

Ooooo pps.

If it is rubbing on the flywheel then it needs to be adjusted so it does not.

I think I saw that on a sign in our local "Mammary Bar"!!!

I removed the clip and reassembled just enough (skipping Chinese jigsaw puzzle throttle) to check spark. Good news--we got fire! Tomorrow I will reassemble with throttle but without clip, just enough fuel in tank to cut some small limbs. This will test my buddy's original failure symptom--saw would not keep running even after a pro rebuilt the carb. My guess is he had an intermittent Stop Switch root cause. Thanks to all for the advice and encouragement (and humor). HarleyT that last photo you sent was especially helpful, doing side-by-side compare I could see key differences. This clip is a very intricate design, and easily messed up (not a robust design).
