The magneto produces a nice blue spark on a new plug when grounded to the outside of cylinder. The mag field coil has proper air gap and no sign of rubbing the flywheel magnet. The carb has ben properly cleaned with new overhaul kit installed. With the filter removed and trying to crank the engine I notice a small amount of blow back thru the carb.

Just wondering if you ever got your problem solved? I have the same saw and two different techs can't seem to find the problem. it's got fuel, got spark, good compression but won't hit a lick. This saw has maybe 10 Hours on it. Practllly new!

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, David
