Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): stihl 028 wb, chain saws, test light

Question
I have a stihl 028WB chainsaw that I have changed over from points to electronic ignition the saw ran fine.  I ran the saw a couple times but didn't actually cut any wood just started it a couple times but everything seemed fine.  Tonight I started the saw and the saw died and I don't have any fire.  Do you have any suggestions on what I can try to get this saw to run.

Answer
Hello Wayne:

>>I am Assuming that you Use the Ign Coil to Replace the Point Set. Check the Mounting Bolts and Make Sure you have the Ign Coil Gapped .015in - .020in from the Flywheel.
>>The Following is a Basic Instruction File for Locating the Cause/Cure for No Fre to Plug on Trimmers, Blowers, and Chain Saws. Any Input is Appreciated.
>>Remove the Spark Plug and Wrap the Threaded Section of the Plug with Wire, then Attach the Other End of the Wire to the Engine Block. **First Make Sure the Plastic End that Snaps to the Plug is Allowing Current to the Plug. Use a Test Light or Multimeter and Check for Fire Behind this Connector (through the Large Rubber like Coil Lead to Plug) for Fire to the Plug whenever there is No Fire to the Plug.**
>>Once you are Sure the Coil Lead and Ends to the Plug are Not the Reason for No Fire to the Plug, then with the Plug Still Wired to the Engine and the Coil Lead Attached to the Plug; Remove the Coil Shut Off Wire at the Shut Off Switch.
>>Check for Fire. If No Fire, then Remove the Cut Off Wire from the Coil (removal of the blower housing required) and Check for Fire.  Turning the Engine By Hand (giving a Quick Twist with the Wrist) is Enough to Make the Coil Fire the Plug.
>>If Still No Fire, then the Coil/Ign Module is Bad.  
>>Please, Do Not Hesitate, If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem, I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
