TEN meters! I think we should call you sparky.

So Tim, if the multimeter stays at 1 then it's good? I always get confused if it should read 1 or if the number goes to zero or less than 1.

So a 1 would mean the test failed? Or visa versa.

Got it. Thanks
Stephen's pic's show it well.
In other words if you were to check a good on / off switch which is properly hooked up to the saw with the switch in the ON position, the meter should show a "1" on the left of the display (Stephen's pic of the the meter on the left showing a "1") which means the circuit has infinite resistance because it's not a completed or open circuit.
With the switch in the OFF position it will show zero or maybe a little higher number like Stephen's pic of the meter on the right. This indicates a completed or closed circuit. This occurs because the switch has gounded the coil to the saw frame which kills the ignition.
So, a bad ignition switch would show "zero" in the on or off position which would keep the coil grounded and the saw would have no spark.
I recently bought a 3800 which had a switch which was not grounded to the frame (paint caused a poor contact) so the swirch would not shut the saw off. The meter showed"1" in the on or off postions. I'm guessing it never did work from day one.
This old laptop I'm using is killing me. It takes 10 minutes to type a post because the cursor jumps around by itself and inserts my typed text all over the place.
I have that too. It's called aging or, correctly as geezeritis. The magnetic metal in your new parts disturbs the electrical flow of neurons in your brain.
My laptop is too old and I can't disable the touch pad. You should be able to disable yours by,
Start > Devices and Printers
Then, right-click the device representing your computer, and select
Mouse settings.
You should be able to disable it in mouse settings and then use an external mouse.
I've seen a lot of touch pads that just take off on their own. Dell's seem to be the worst.
Indeed it is! Good eye! I Photoshopped that in there, trying to make it look cartoon-ish, and then readjusting SpongeBob so it looks like he's actually holding it.

I put some of those green fertilizer spikes by this tree and look what is growing out of it. Ok top is my favorite,#2 is the saw my dad bought new many moons ago.#3 is what I call half-breed,#4 I just bought runs exel, #5 is a powerhead I also just bought with #4. Also runs very good just haven`t found a bar for it yet. And Another 3400 is on the way. And I have a 3400 that I am re-building from the ground up.
