Poulan 17" 3.6 cu in & Partner P85 chainsaws from the 1970's?

No matter what I do, the saw will not quite start up. it goes for about a half a second at best then dies. I checked & cleaned the points, put in a newer plug, checked to see if plug was sparking (it was), mixed new gas and oil and checked the compression, it was 120 psi. Nada! A little history on the saw: My original use of the saw was in 1975 where I was cutting wood to sell that summer. After some use the saw quit working. Given that it was still under warrenty I sent it in to be repaired. The saw worked for a shorter time than it did the first time around. Either the warrenty ran out or I was fed up with the saw at that point. The saw has been stored for 30& years in a dry environment which leads up to where the first half of this letter began. The vent hole in the gas cap is clear. Is there anything else besides the coil that could be cursing the saw? If the coil is the culpret, is it worth replacing if even available given the temperment of the saw when it was less than a year old? What do you think of these 40-42 cc Craftsman chainsaws advertised in the mid $150.00 range? In the future I hope to cut 2-4 cords of wood per season. A burnt orange Sweedish chainsaw would be nice but parts seem to get scarce after a handfull of years. I have a P85 Partner that never gave me any trouble except that the 3 clutch brake material pads on the inner clutch dissapeared. Zero clutch replacement options are offered. Even if a replacement clutch could be found, it would cost around $150.00 for another inferior clutch which would be gone within the life of a chain and bar. Any suggestions or conclusions regarding the above?
