Disconnect your kill switch and give it a few pulls...
Mine did almost as you are describing and it turned out to be a bad unlimited coil. The saw would try to start and that was about it. It had spark but not good enough to run. CJ
I know you replaced the plug and checked the spark, but did you gap it properly? I picked up a $75 346XP froma guy who couldn't get it to run...had spark and everything, but the gap was too wide and it wouldn't light the fuel.
Just a thought, easy to check. Doesn't explain why it died though.
I may be mistaken but I think starting fluid is terrible on saws, I wouldn't use it on mine anyway.. Just a thought though.

I will check the flywheel key tonight....
Flooding is NOT the issue....definately ruled that out..

If it were ignition the plug would be wet. Do you have vacuum? Might be a crankcase seal or impulse hose
Why is it ruled out? is the air filter clean? how about the spark arrestor, fuel filter.
but why would not fire then when gas was put directly into the carb or cylinder??

It went from running to not running and the only thing you did was introduce fuel to the system....
Have you dumped the fuel out and checked for water? Or how about what a previous poster said about getting the tanks mixed up...
All this time the saw is sitting and waiting for a coil, the fuel is evaporating and you will put a $40 coil in and the saw will suddenly run...giving you a false positive that the coil was bad...
also you changed the plug, what brand did you put in it...
All has been checked, plug is a Denso, also switched back to the old plug just to make sure...
