I have had the MS170 Stihl version for many years. Recently it has been a pig to start or not start at all > fuel mixture was correct so only left ignition. Thanks to a youtube video I stripped down the machine as far as checking the coil and gap. Although I had never touched it the gap was nearly non existant how it worked before beats me. After cleaning up the coil from gunk I reset the gap to .009 " as suggested and reassembled. Couple of cord pulls and it started.
