Voltage but no spark on chainsaw
Original Message   Oct 26, 2006 9:39 pm
I have a Husqvarna with CD ignition. Haven't used it for about 6 months. Was working fine when I put it away. Now I'm not getting any spark with the plug I left in, nor with a new plug. I put my multi-meter on it and am getting AC voltage at the spark plug lead when I pull the cord. Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but when I check for continuity through the switch, I get a complete circuit with the switch ON and OFF. Should I be? Any suggestions on further diagnostics? Could both plugs be bad?

You can clean everything, but in the end you WILL end up replacing the coil. Well documented problem on these saws...

 Jake - Can you explain to us all how oil gets under two pieces of metal bolted tightly together? Then you also have the threads from the bolts providing an electrical path. Cmon...
