so your saying you cant test it with a needle ohms meter ?

right now it doesn`t matter according to your description if it rockets up its junk and that`s what it did

i sent my number call me
An analog ohmmeter is the best friend you will ever have when it comes to electrical testing.
I think you should take a time out and test one thing at a time start out testing to make sure no wires are reading to ground then test that you have next to zero ohms across your points with the condensor wire and coil wire removed for test purposes pull wire from switch check to make sure switch is not grounding in the on position test the ohm value of the primary and then the secondary side of the coil check the condensor.
All these tests should only take 15 min or so.

pretty sure now the on off switch could be a problem i set the saw up and no spark unplug the switch got spark ,what im going to do is tape up that wire going to switch and run the saw and see if it stays running ,my question is running the saw this way is there any down side while testing ,,,im seeing a weak link on these switches this is my second one .and now it failed
No harm will be done tape it good so it can not short to ground.Test the switch with your ohm meter I have had saws where the previous owner mounted them up side down.

Sledhead I guess you are one of the closest Arborist site members to me you are only 160 miles away.I have spent many enjoyable days and nights in Duluth and Superior .Is Minnesota Surplus still in business?

the wire going to the switch i feel is the culprit or the switch wire might have worn thru just enough at the case to give you intermittent spark ,i will test the saw and keep the switch unplugged and the wire tapped up ,if it shuts down then it deep along that wire i will go ,probably replace the entire wire

yeah, as far as i know they are. I'm 30 miles north of DLH
what does it matter if it was up side down its either sparky or no spark i generally plug in on the top and tape off the bottom so it cant ground out

where about are you up there i use to go up weekly trucking to red rock pulp mill and a gold mine up there way up and fishing around lake Nipigon BEST fishing ever
test the switch in the on position to ensure it is not grounding.

pretty sure its the wire have no way of testing switch for now ,you can pull saw with switch plugged in and see the spark vary then unplug and see it more steady super bad weather has delayed testing ,thaw break up is **** now too hard to get into the area I'm cutting my guess is the wire has rubbed threw on block as it passes thru the small space ,the saw with run great and die with now other issues i can tell ,its electrical 100% at this point just haven't torn out the wire yet but I'm going too

it failed again right out of the gate today no switch used ,but i got a 70 e and its SAW it dropped them like a champ today
Sorry to hear your ignition problem has surfaced again.Points ignitions are very reliable and very easy to trouble shoot it is just a process of step by step trouble shooting.
I have 3 621s and they are very good reliable saws I also have a 70e which I love but mine has no spark due to the failed junk Sem electronics this is the only weak point on them and finding one is like finding hobby horse turds.
To bad I wasnt closer to Duluth I could have a look sometimes some one else spots some thing over looked.Do not give up and enjoy your 70e for as long as you have spark.

well im tearing out the wire going to the kill switch it old as hell just to see the condition i will rout a new wire through but i suspect that wire is rubbing on the routing somewhere that 70e i got for 75 and it was shelved in a hoarders semi trailer for decades fuel was in it and super thick mix dumped it out thru a new plug cut a new muffler gasket and put 40 to 1 in her and it lit right up, was amazing cleaned it real good and cut all day with it the next day ,it was unreal saw heavy as hell but man does it eat..
