Chainsaw Repair

I ordered a rebuild kit. I gave the current one a good cleaning and it seems it's in decent shape. Removed the metering valve and gave everything a good cleaning. Hard to tell if any ports clogged. New fuel filter, cleaned carb old gaskets, new decompression valve, and when I put the spark tester between the plug I get a decent light pulse. I can see the fuel flow when the plunger is pressed, just it seems nothing going in the throttle. I poured a small amount of gas into the throttle blade port and it seems like it whats to turn over then it dies, does not last long. Maybe the carb kit will help unless there are some other ideas. I don't have a compression tester, however, when the decompression valve is on hard pulls so feels like high compression. FYI - this is why I thought it would be easier to try an Amazon carb special that would fit and replace the original model. Thank you!
