I GOT SPARK i have no idea what i did i hadthe coil off before and lost the paper with the part number so had to pull it again to read the number. must not of been grounding thats a hundred bucks that i get to keep

Hey Bill, Tim here! Have a look at my post prior to this one. You must have had a bad ground and removing the coil and putting it back got a better ground!

I looked closely at the 394 coil and it has the same number as some Italian coils used on the 268 saws! I will switch out the 394 coil ::) for a 268 and let everyone know what happens.

OK, so the 268 coil I tried works, it is off a late model 268 and is made by Ducati of Italy, has a red ground wire that grounds to one of the coil mounting bolts.

Also, it appears that husky wired the ground two different ways,
If the coil has a ground wire then the on/off switch is screwed to the carb box and only gets the blue wire connected to it
If the coil has no ground wire, then there is a short black ground wire that goes from the switch mounting screw to one of the bolts holding the carb box to the case of the saw.

I have now done it both ways depending on the coil and both work.

Lastly, before you think the coil is bad test the switch itself, I had one working yesterday and today no spark! Changed only the switch and all is well.
:-)

Hope this helps everyone, I'm done for today and am off to drink a few beers and smoke a big fat cigar!!!!!
