The saw stalls when under load and at high speed,

Check the fuel filter, air cleaner, and muffler for plugging. Check the fuel lines for decay or other damage. Make sure the carburetor is solidly mounted to the engine. Hope this helps!

Ignition module gap
Place a business or index card between the fly wheel and coil, rotate until the magnetic attraction pulls everything tight together. Tighten the coil screws, rotate the flywheel until the attraction eases and remove the card. Ensure nothing contacts when the flywheel is rotated.

Won't idle, cranks and runs fine as long as trigger is depressed

Could be just a carb adjustment required, the L screw on the carb will richen up the mixture, if increaseing the the idle screw does not help, try extra 1/4 turn out on the L screw, make sure the air filter is clean before makeing any adjustments.

its either you have to make sure there is spark, then check your fuel filter in the tank or on the inlet fuel line comin g from the fuel tank. there could b some condensation or dirt in the tank . U could also check the diaphram in the carburetor.
