Question:
Husqvarna E-Series 440 just stopped. I was using the 440 for about 2 hours and it just suddenly died. Thought it ran out of fuel, which it seemed it did. Topped it off and the chainsaw wont start. Took plug out and has fairly weak spark. Gave it a shot of ether, nothing. Any ideas? Obviously a spark issue if its not kicking over with ether. Ignition module?

Answer
For the saw to suddenly stop does not sound like module. However, the ignition module can be checked by your local Husqvarna dealer. '
Have you tried changing the spark plug. Make sure you use an exact replacement plug. The plug should be a resister style plug.
When you checked the plug, was it wet with fuel? If not, the fuel filter may be clogged.
You may also ask the dealer to do a quick compression check on the saw. If it has no compression, it would not fire.
