Ignition module
Saw started and ran fine until yesterday, pulled once, sputtered a little then quit and will not start. chedked plug, it's clean but quite wet, tried to get spark with plug pulled and grounded on chassis, nothing. Suspect ignition module, but wonder if there is any other circuitry that would suppress the spark if it failed, or if there is any other tests I can do to verify that it is the module that's bad. I'm pretty much limited to continuity or voltage checks. would appreciate any help or advice you can give before I spend $35 for new ignition module.
Thanks
