Make sure your flywheel didn’t slip please.

I’ve had one slip, and it was an exercise in frustration. And the saw did flood like crazy because it pulled fuel it could not burn.

Quick check, bring piston to TDC as viewed though plug hole, see if the flywheel magnets are near the coil legs.

Yep removed the flywheel to check key, a thing from my old Briggs and Stratton mower days. A yellow spark meant sheared flywheel key.
