Don't mean to harp on something that you have probably already addressed, but did you actually see spark? New plug does not necessarily mean you have spark (could have a bad coil). Let us know.

I've bought bad new plugs too...Had that happened on a massive snowblower once...Pulled that stupid thing all over the garage trying to start it. With the old plug, it fired right up..

Good point, I have had new plugs that were no good in the past.

I just took a Stihl Hedge trimmer, Stihl saw and a Echo string timmer to the shop because I was tired of looking at them not being able to run and not have the time to do anything about it.

might check the exhaust for a spark arrestor screen. they get clogged after a while. may need to clean it

I finally took the trimmer to a small engine repair shop an he could not get it going either.
He must have missed something but what?
