I have a Stihl model 023 which will not start. It is getting fuel, but no spark. I have taken the plug out which is new, pulled it over in start mode, and no spark at the electrode. All wires seem to be ok. Any thoughts on where I should look now?

Thank you.

Check the on-off switch. The wires can come adrift, or the switch itself can sometimes melt. Worth checking this before you worry about the HT side of the ignition.
