Squirted some starter fluid in the air cleaner and still did not fire. Pulled plug wire and out and put a bolt into the rubber cap to wedge in the spark plug contacts and held near engine ground and pulled- no spark was seen. Accidentally found it would still give a shock, but no spark so it was a weak ignition. A bit of a pain to take apart to access the ignition module since you must remove it from the backpack carrier, and take off the fuel tank. But the pull cord housing comes off with 4 screws. Replaced it and used a business card to gap between the ignition module and the magnets while tightening the new module. Re-assembled and it starts right up and runs well. Note that there was very little difference in the Ohmmeter reading on the bad and new module so you cannot trust that. Check for a hot spark. I replaced the plug anyway but that was not the cause.

No spark. Replaced coil,air filter and fuel filter.
.I used a piece of cardboard to set the coil gap but it clearly was too wide. Used a business card the second time and it was perfect.

1. Remove cover
2. Remove carb assembly
3. Now you can access the old ignition module and it will need to be removed.
4. Install new ignition module assembly and use an ATM card to ensure the spacing is correct between it it and the flywheel magnets(?). You\'ll see it.
5. Put it all back together.
* Most dif ficult part-and it\'s. It that difficult is making sure you get the spacing right. You can\'t just bolt it up; you have to hold the card while you tighten it down.

Determined it had no fire to the plug. Replaced the ignition module and the plug while I was there.
Blower started first time pulled. Changing this was not hard but, does require knowledge of engines and good mechanical ability. Once the problem was found, identifying the proper parts and ordering was outstanding.
