No, it is pretty simple, no spark with the kill wire disconnected = bad ignition/coil.
Ok thanks. So I guess all I can try before buying a new one is checking the gap is correct...undoing the 3 fixing screws, slotting an appropriate feeler gauge / Chinese business card between the module and flywheel, re-torquing and re-checking for spark?No, it is pretty simple, no spark with the kill wire disconnected = bad ignition/coil.
That’s good to know....would u ship to the uk if I promise not to send it back ? I’ll try re-gapping first, then I’ll pull the ignition coil off a parts 084 I have to see if it works, hoping it’s the same version, and if these fail I guess there’s nowhere else but a new one. I’m definitely not taking the one off the 084 that’s working, that would be asking for trouble. Thanks gentsI only sell the OEM stuff, I cannot recommend the aftermarket stuff,
good quality is hard to predict there...
I don’t know what you mean, hopefully it will make sense when I’m having a go tomorrow Thank youMake sure the magnet is under the coil pickups or you won't set it.

Ah...that makes sense and I understand now. Thank you fellasHe means that the magnets are at the coil when you set the gap.
They will pull the coil tight against the business card, then tighten the screws.
Yes, pretty clueless about it all tbh. Basic checking for fuel and spark on site is as far as I’ve ever got. I’m 43 and up to now it’s always been about getting the job done, earning the money and moving on to the next job. If a tool stops working I pick up the spare and we keep moving. Broken tool gets put away and at best looked at by someone on the team who knows a bit more than me, at worst it lies in the corner gathering dust. A bit older now and the pace of work has dropped and I’m more inclined to try get stuff working again; a saw has always been nothing more than a tool to me but now I’m starting to appreciate them as ‘characters’ of their ownYou must be new at working on small engines.

Not me since I quit selling on ebay quite some time ago....And I’m plagued by ebayers selling crap or misdescribing items...not that I’m saying you’re like that
I even went to electronics school and have fixed a few tvs. Gave it up though, chainsaws are simpler...Sounds like my son inlaw, knows jack about an engine, no matter what's it's in. He told me recently that after watching me and my brother work on different stuff, he's finally picking up on a few things. When I was younger, if something broke, you fixed it. Wasn't no spare or going and getting a new one. Money was tight back then so you learned how to repair everything. Only time I remember dad taking something in to get repaired was the tv, none of the tubes would power up and none tested bad. Ended up being the power supply in it. Of course that's when candy could be gotten for a penny.

When I worked on my car I bought a basic vehicle electrics book to try and get my head around it, failed miserably. It’s all voodoo to meI even went to electronics school and have fixed a few tvs. Gave it up though, chainsaws are simpler...
Bugger, looks like the parts aren’t interchangeable; I assume the parts saw has the older version coil?Yeah, a good used one works even better!
