The problem is the fuel line from the tank to the carb. Being this is the spring the saw has been sitting all winter. The problem is the ethonanl in the gas. The gas line rubber gets eaten and soft. I have changed a whole bunch of those on sthild that have had gas left in them. And you can say you drained it all out but you really never do. The gas line has a series of knots molded in the line. check for cracks around those knots.
