The saw just stopped running. The mounting location of coil was cleaned and sand papered. Will try your suggestion on the case bolts, sounds like you are on the right track. Thanks
Tried your suggestion on ground, remove cyl bolt, clean and reinstall. Reset aig gap on coil and spark plug. Still no spark. Next step is to buy a new ignition coil and hope for the best.
Come daylight I will check the flywheel magnets. Looking at the flywheel, I removed and cleaned the bolt at right rear of cylinder, easiest one to get to, also checked the other 3 to make sure they were snug. The threaded hole for spark plug is clean and should make good ground.
Ther cylinder bolt that was cleaned is on the same side of case as the flywheel. Ignition coil does not have a ground wire attached, it is grounded by the two mounting screws. The kill switch wire is attached to rear of coil by spade connection and the only other wire is ,of course, the plug wire. How critical is the air gap adjustment for coil and spark plug. Would voltage from coil be effected by a too large or too small air gap?
You can get an OEM coil from Bailey's for $74.92 + shipping, wich is usually around $9.95.
Would you have their URL??
What spark plug are you running? How about the plug gap. Too wide is hard on the coil. I suggest using a resistor type plug. Be sure not to crank the engine over with the igniton switched on with the plug wire off.

The plug is Bosch R10. What happens if the engine is cranked with the spark plug wire not attached and switch on?
Probably nothing to do with nothing, but I read that the Bosch plug for a 268 is a WS7F. I checked because the 10 looked odd to me.The plug is Bosch R10.
