I'd be checking fuel line, fuel filter, impulse line. Then prob a carb kit if opening L up some dont help the start.

Does anyone around us work on saws besides dealerships? The guy I used to drop
saws off to isn’t in good health. Alot of times I just don’t have time or a warm shop.

Give to an expert to fix,not a dealer where you don't know who's fixing it.

I dont call myself a expert by any means.  But I have had to laugh at some dealers and techs in past.
