Brushcutter HBC45SB

[nickr]

Good day all!
I have the above 2 stroke brush cutter which will no longer start. I was using it and it worked fine tho' it did cough from time to time, so I cleaned the air filter when i stopped to refuel. Machine then refused to start.
I have since changed the spark plug, checked continuity in the kill switch and the leads to the coil. There is fuel in the primer bulb and I can smell fuel in the cylinder when I pull the starter cord with the spark plug out. I do not seem to be able to see a spark when I turn the engine over whilst shorting the spark plug out on the engine body.
Is the problem the HT lead?
All suggestions welcome, thanks in advance

Probably needs a new module.

Thanks for the speedy reply - been a bit busy recently and only just checked! Is there another name for " the module " because that doesnt feature in my parts list!!!
Thanks again

Would need more information. Does your brushcutter have a points ignition? What color is the coil?

Yes. AS a test disconnect the small wire from the module to the kill switch and check for spark again.

Good morning Still no spark - so the solution is a new "module" right?
