Hey,
I'm rebuilding an MS201TC with a missing carb and broken handle. It was an auction saw so I do not have much history, pretty rough. With the handle on order and carb is it possible to test the spark by keeping the broken handle in which the wires look in good shape in the <ON> position not having the carb plugged in? Also, the yellow coating is pretty far removed from the flywheel, some still on no other damage to it. I have heard that not having the yellow coating can cause the saw not to signal due to magnetic field disruption. However, on older say, I can swear I remember seeing the yellow coating with no computer-aided ignition module, like corrosion protection. I don't know the real answer for that, just wanted to see if I had to have everything all plugged together for a basic spark test. Any option to emulate the solenoid with like a resister of some sort? Any thoughts? Thank you, Louie!
