Hello im a new fella here,so sorry if im in the wrong catagory..lol.I have a 415 Shindiawa saw,,the coil is gone.I tested it with an ohm meter.Anyway,,it has no fire all of a sudden.It has been sitting for about 5 years,and i just purchased it ,,guess i should have left it where it was.....I have a 488 and i love it,so thought i would go for this one also.When i first got it ,i poured gas in the carb,and after about 10 min,it was running pretty good.There was a small spark "at times" near the muffler,,,now it has no spark.The wires and switch look good,and the plug is new,and plug wire looks good.Would the "shorting" burn out the coil? And will a 500 coil fit a 415?Sorry for the long winded post.I like the saw, but there is no place not even ebay that has a coil for this saw.Just wondering if another would fit from a 500..Thanks all!!
