Not quite true. I had no spark on my pb-210e that I’ve had since 1987. Talked to my local dealer who told me it was definitely the CDI or the coil. He suggested replacing both. (The CDI wasn’t made for a while, but Echo has recently started stocking them again.)
Fortunately, I still had the original receipt and both were covered under the original "lifetime warranty". Amazing in this day and age! I replaced both in about 20 minutes. Now starts and runs as if brand new.
