Questioni replaced the ignition coil because of a no fire situation and still no fire. i read on this site there should be a shutoff wire from the throttle to the coil but mine has none. so perhaps there should be one? or another problem?
Answer Testing for spark is difficult on the units, because the side of the plug must be touching the metal of the engine block.
The most common problem with these Poulan blowers is that the engine cylinder screws loosen and fall out, that may have something
to do with the problem, as the coil is not getting a ground because the cylinder is not bolted. The most obvious problems of course that
the engine won't run because of the air leaks.
Hold the blower firmly by the handle, and grab the spark plug and
wiggle, do the same with the carb and air cleaner, and look for
any movement, if you see movement, then you have some loose screws.
Take a look and let me know what you find.
