Hey guys, question about my 661. If I let it sit over night then try to start it sometimes starts for a few seconds then dies but if I try again it won’t start. Has no spark. I’ve changed wiring harness, ignition coil, spark plug and still no sparks. Any ideas on what to try next? Thanks!

Best Bubba guess ( I do not do a lot of mtronic stuff), bad connections in the electrical system- especially the solenoid on the carb and the white connector above it.
Could be a faulty solenoid- but then it would be a fuel related issue.

I know some of the mtronic saws if the coil does not "see" a solenoid, it will not fire at the plug.

Clean all connections, wiggle wires, ensure connectivity and maybe test wires for an open circuit and continuity.
