Troublesome MS660

[DSS]

I think our Ted the Wingnut© just went through this a while back

I was thinking maybe one of your legs was stuck in the choke butterfly

I wonder if the saw was close to another item in storage with a magnet in it ....

I wondered the same thing.

A bad flywheel never even crossed my mind. That's not one of those parts you ever think of failing unless it's a shorn molded flywheel key. Never the magnets though.

So why would the plugs have "different" spark?

Resistance. The plug with the least resistance made the best spark.

I told John to test the magnets polarity, he never did. Randy ,check the polarity to see if they are either both North or both South now. I have seen this phenomenon before on one of our SD 116 saws.

So prior to this thread you had a private sesh with Dave and discussed all the troubleshooting that was done.
YOU CHEATING BASTARDS!!!!! Lol

I'm not sure how to do that.

Use a compass?

 

[junkman]

Take another magnet and see if pushes away or sticks to both sides of the flywheel ?

What plugs were you trying?

 

[Basher]

I'm not sure how to do that.

That is what got John hung up, its been explained already so I won`t repeat. Just that like poles repel each other and opposite poles attract each other.

 

[Mastermind]

What plugs were you trying?

Two new NGK, and an older Bosch.

Thank you for the t-shootin' quiz, it helps keep my skills good. Now how did it give spark from the magnet exciting the coil assembly, but not run?

It would pop a little, but would never fire off. I think it was too weak to fire under compression.
