A stiff main diaphragm can often get the saw started but very quickily run itself out of fuel once the thing is running .Because of being stiff it's capacity to hold fuel is diminished .

Fact just today I had a very similar situation on a 2 cycle snow blower .The thing did have electric start which saved my arm .I set it extremely rich where it would idle and blow black smoke .After a while it had limbered up the diaphragm enough it would run under normal conditions .I'll bet it took a dozen -15 restarts and ten minutes of running before it healed its self .
