Husqvarna 61 woes

I may have been a bit previous with my last post. I got a genuine gasket set for the tillotson. After fitting it the chainsaw still refused to run on the mainjet. The carb was clean as a whistle to look at internally, although the float gasket was baggy. There was also no sign of it ever having been apart. I have taken out the high jet adjuster and poked  in some soft fly fishing line. It all looked good though I'll run some air over it tomorrow.

 There appears to be a strong blue spark  and the saw will tick over. I checked the kill wire which looks fine. I'll disconnect it tomorrow to see if that makes any difference. The saw is a black top with the two piece coil. I can get a secondhand one, or for less than half get a chinese copy. The coils are SEM. I'm just wondering if one acts as an advance and retard unit. I've put together motorbike engines but know very little about saws. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.

 

 I've decided that it may be the exhaust muffler screen.  It's also never been apart. I take it I have to heat it up with a blow torch as it's not remotely interested in my tapping it apart.
