Got a 2020 365XT that burned up from bad gas/overheating/abuse. Put the hi comp PC on it from Maple Creek, and it will pop but not catch and run. Replaced the carb, but still just pops. Seals are good, replaced the carb boot with the carb. Spark is blue, but weak. Compression is 200psi. Is it possible the limited coil was damaged from heat/over revving? Just wanna get some ideas before I go swapping coils. Anyone else had this problem?

It makes it hard to trouble shoot when you use China knock of parts! How do we know they work ? It pops, so it seems like enough fuel isn't being delivered. Do you have the old carb, try that again? Fuel line and impulse lines attached? A vac and pressure test sure would help. Is the fuel filter on ?
 
Plug is wet, but not flooded. OE or aftermarket carb makes no difference. Fuel and impulse lines are good. This saw has less than 10 hours on it before it got trashed.

Well what caused it originally, no oil in fuel or a lean seize, could it have a vac leak?
Is the flywheel key intact?
Try a new plug or clean that one.
Can you vac test it?
