-----Question-----
My saw was running fine last weekend while I was cutting down 5 trees. I shut the saw off to move some brush and 10 minutes later it would not start due to no spark. This is electronic ignition without points. I purchased two new coils (the correct light blue ones) moving the coil air gap anywhere between .004" and .015" with a new spark plug and recently I tried a another used flywheel with no luck. I'm at a loss! I love this saw for it's metal clad and great horsepower! Any help would be appreciated

Where did you purchase the coils from? Did you dis-connect the shut-off switch and check for spark?
Let me know.

AnswerThe drill may not be spinning the flywheel fast enough to produce spark. I have seen some specs on how fast the flywheel must turn to create enough magnetic flux lines to generate spark but I can't remember what RPM because we rarely have this problem.
Make sure the only wire connected to the coil is the spark plug wire, install the side cover and use it to rotate the engine to check for spark.
Are you using an inline spark tester to check for spark?
Let me know.
