I went to the dealership today and got a new fuel line. Lucked out and they didn't have to order it. had ONE on hand. Cost 3 something plus tax. not horrible.
I'm very close to taking it to the Stihl mech. and letting him sort it out. If nothing else they can confirm the coil working by swapping mine to a known good saw, or swapping the coil from a known good saw to mine. I get the impression that's how they generally do it, instead of testing the actual coil readings with a multimeter, etc.
Tonight I'll try the new fuel line and see where I'm at.
This is wear my brother is very handy. (not much else) lol He does that kind of work for over 30 years. Haven't ever had a electric part he couldn't test.
