I bougt a Mcculloch t26cs weed eater about two years ago. Only used ist about 10hours to now.
Yesterday it worked good for about 10 minutes, then died while trimming with a puff sound.
Won't start anymore.
Fuel and carb seem OK, replaced spark plug. Spark plug gets wet when trying to start.
Opened it, measured the Kill switch, is ok. (switches from no current flow to flow when pressed)
Must be the ignition module, but i'm not sure it's the faulty part.

I used a multimeter and measured the ignition module between the Spark plug connector and the first connector about 18 kohm and between teh spark plug connector and the second connector about 3 kohm.
Between the two connectors with the kill switch attached there is a little current flowing, when im pressing the kill switch, it switches to no resistance.

I'm not sure if it is the ignition module, has anyone experienced similar problems ?
Mcculloch part no for the module is 585565501

appreciate your help.
