Ok. So let's say hypothetically that when I do bypass the connector AND slot the hole, it STILL won't start. Then what do I do?

Is it cranking OK? did you replace that battery? FSM says it needs to be over 300 RPM before it will fire. It's never a bad idea to check the flex-pate torque converter bolts since they are known to loosen.

Haven't replaced the battery yet. And I tightened the flex plate bolts not too long ago. I went out of town for the weekend, so I'll do the connector and slot the hole on Thursday.

I happen to own allot of chainsaws, so I have chainsaw files all over. Right here on my desk are 3 or four. They are cheap, a 7/32's is likely what I would use to extend/make a 1/4 inch slot.

I wonder what spacer a guy might use. Thinking maybe a folded business card for around 36 thou? Maybe a little close, Idk. A little contact cement, let the flywheel eat it. Sheez, shouldnt need to go there, something else is wrong. What say you Pete?
