Post How to test for spark?
I'm trying to trouble shoot my Husqavarna chainsaw that won't start. I disassembled and cleaned carb, fuel, flywheel, magnets, everything. Seems no ignition. How to test without shocking myself please? Thanks.

Stick a screw driver in the boot and hold it to something metal or the end of the spark plug just put a gap so you can see the spark jump

Go to the parts house & spend a few bucks on a spark plug tester.
