Disconnect the kill wire at the ignition module (coil). If you then have spark, then likely the kill wire is shorted to metal somewhere along its length.
This typically indicates a bad spark plug or coil on one side. Possibly the wiring going to the coil or from the coil to the plug. Use a spark tester to test for spark on that side.
Other less fun problems are the valves on that side need adjustment.
Test the coil with a spark tester. Also, clean the area behind the coil where it mounts. There must be good contact (ground) for the coil to product spark.
The early 61 has a coil on the right side, and an electronic pack at the left side of the flywheel, if there is no spark it is nearly always the electronic pack playing up, make sure the wire to the coil from the box is a good conection under the small screw, the later 61 has a single peice electronic unit, so this will need to be replaced.
remove the side cover and then the small wire to the coil check for spark again if still no spark the coil is bad if you get spark back the problem is the switch or wiring
Try removing the fuel cap for a moment to see it can be restarted immediately. If this works, check the fuel tank vent for plugging problems. Also, check for spark at the plug when it dies--if no spark, try a fresh plug gapped at 0.020". If nothing, the ignition module may be failing with heat. Good luck!
according to husqvarna the ignition coil is no longer avalible for this saw,the service bulliten says that every thing needs to be changed to make this saw work again.everything includes the flywheel,crank shaft,ignition coil,woodrif key,nut and washer.husquvarna will not let me order the origional coils.i do have a copy of the service bulliten if you would like a copy.just e mail me and i'll send one your way........
