Well guys (and ladies too) I just disassembled the handle end. checked voltage at switch (OK) and disconnected all the wires. Some looked a little crimped in spots from my previous repair!
Anyhow, I disconnected all leads and re-routed the wiring; taking care to pass them through the appropriate slots. When I was all done it ran just fine. Put it back together and make two cuts through a 18 inch log and it never balked. I really, really like this electric chain saw!
