no
spark will occur is the coil gets the pulse to work
if it has points , check from power across the points
check condenser for shorting out
ignition timing only determines when the plugs get the spark in relation to the piston position
You will not be able to do this as the wire is part of the coil which means a new coil
i have carried a repair but soldering a copper cable ht lead onto the existing wire, placing a bit of fuel hose over the joint and taping off with electrical tape
still working after 5 years
cleaning the points should help them and replace the condenser that you should be able to match up or see if a coil from a new saw with electronic ignition and replace it did on my old still
The switch grounds the coil and kills the spark. Make sure you dont have a rub through on the wire coming from the coil. Better yet disconnect the coil wire. If this works you will have spark but wont be able to shut it down. Verify good spark, then repair the wire.
I believe that this machine uses solid state ignition, but has two elements--one is a trigger/charger coil and the other is the ignition coil. Like you said, if it ain't broke---. Parts for this are spendy--hope it outlasts the engine.
