Take it apart and put up a pic.
i use a election card to set the coil \plugs rarely go bad \some times the spark plug wire gets pulled loose from the coil wire or someone could even pinch the switch wire (the hot one)been cleaning my husky 257 and now got it back together. Nothing too intense as far as cleaning but now she won't start. Pulled the plug and hooked it up to the spark wire and got no spark (yes it's grounded). I'll run out and get a new plug but is this the likely culprit?
Now there's some good old-fashioned common sense!!!Simple as this likely is, I don't want to pull the old one off and forget a step for installing the new when it gets here.
This is too strange. Something is up. Take a real close look at your switch face. Is there any possiblity that you might be reading the "stop" function incorrectly. This very thing happened to me on a Husky once. I cranked my brother's 385xp till I was worn out only to discover I was mis-reading the switch and had it in the "stop" position instead of the "run" position. This would explain why both of your saws appear to have faulty switches that work backward.
you've been repairing saws for 50 years????????????????? pffft!!!i use a election card to set the coil \plugs rarely go bad \some times the spark plug wire gets pulled loose from the coil wire or someone could even pinch the switch wire (the hot one)
From the pics, that is a great looking 257. Wish it was mine. you keep your saws clean...I like that. They run better
