The saw uses the early SEM electronic ignition. That SEM coil has the ground wire permanently attached, it appears to be molded in the coil so no apparent way to switch the ground wire, at least none that I could discover. The wire was broken within only about a inch remaining attached to the coil.

Swapping out the coil would have worked, I'm sure however I did not know nor could I figure out what coil would work in place of the SEM coil using what I assume is a SEM version of the flywheel. Please, if you know what coil will work in place of the SEM let me know. The owner also had a budget within which he wanted me to work. A used SEM coil runs $60-80, which would have put him beyond his repair cost budget. So the only option I could work out was to splice a new section of wire to the remaining piece attached to the coil.

I have attached three photos of the coil I found on eBay.
