242xp no spark

[Stubby]

Tried new plug, no change. Infinite resistance on coil at rest with only 3 volts output on sharp pull. Think I'll "borrow" the one out of my mate's 254 if it'll fit and see if that works unless anyone has a better suggestion....

 

Usually a new spark unit will sort it but sometimes the fly wheel magnets loose their power .

Just so we're singing off the same hymn sheet: Husky call the bit by the flywheel the " ignition module" and the bit by the carb the " ignition coil". I was describing the ignition module previously. Can't change HT lead as is potted in ignition coil. I'm losing the will to live here........time for beer!

Sorry Stubby, missed that. Magnet still seems pretty pokey to me.
