       The on - off switches are frequent fails on Homelites. To check
       it, disconnect the switch wire from the coil and try it again.
       Failing that, check you plug wire connection at the coil, They
       will be faulty sometimes. They usually are screwed into the
       module / coil.
       The last is to replace the plug with a fresh one. They don't
       fail often but I've had a few NGK's go out.
       I hope it's that simple. Do you have the one piece or two piece
       coil/module? (I can't remember if the late models were one piece
       or not)
       If it's two piece you will have a module under the flywheel.
       Make sure none of the wires are off or have cracked insulation
       causing them to ground out the ignition.

       The three piece electronic ignition on these is problematic.
       Homelite eventually sold a 'retrofit kit' to switch those saws
       to the later one piece ignition.  Had a replacement ignition
       bracket/bearing retainer, module, and flywheel.
