setting timing on a 2 stroke engine

I'll have a look at the coil tomorrow, I don't have a compression tester but it feels good on the pull.

Check you have spark, from what you say, it has compression. Is the plug wet after you pull the saw over with the choke on? If not, check the metering arm height and if it is very wet, it may be the needle valve is leaking or the gaskets in the carb are not fitted in the correct order.

 

Worth checking the state of the HT cable, a spark plug with the end electrode bent out at a 45 deg angle makes a cheap spark strength tester!

 

If this doesn't work, get hold of the IPL and check the coil and flywheel part numbers and make sure they are correct to the machine. If this doesn't work....send it to me:sneaky2: and I will stick it on my thread and embarrass your woeful attempts at getting it going:001_tt2:
