First a bit of history... saw was running fine then shut off while idling. I checked and it was low on gas so I filled and tried to restart. No go, so I assumed I flooded it and grabed another saw. When I got it home I checked it out further and found no spark.
So, no spark. I disconnect the kill switch wire, still no spark. Tried a new plug, no spark. Tried adding a jumper wire to make sure plug had good ground while testing on top of cylinder, nope, no go.
Got another coil, used but supposed to be tested and to my suprise still no go. Same symptoms.
The coil was gapped with a business card, kill switch wire left off, flywheel magnets strong and both intact.
Any other possibilities other than a bad coil?
