Is it an m-tronic carb saw?
If it's starting without choking it, then something is leaking after shut off to make the mixture rich.
Did you pressure test the fuel inlet?

I can choke it, but after more then 2 pulls it's flooded for sure couple pulls then choke of it comes right to life never gargles like iam used to on other saws , I think it has enough life now to make it worth getting rest of parts I need , what holds air filter on? Mine is missing all that hardware

That sounds like the metering lever is set to let in too much fuel!

Sounds like your ring was stuck and now it isn't. That picture of your piston shows a stuck top ring. Pull it back apart and remove the rings for a proper cleaning in the ring grooves. They'll stick again if you didn't.
Recoil got hung up today and I let damn spring pop out trying clean the crude out[emoji20]

For less fuel witch direction do you go with the metering lever

Well it should be level with the carb body with the gasket off you cant just compensate by changing that if something else is wrong.. To answer your question If the Metering Lever height is set too high, it may create a rich condition, while a Metering Lever set too low may create a lean condition. Is yours level and does everything look in order? Post a pic of it while you are at it.

Sounds like a Stihl! 
I always rewind them if not misshaped.
OP, you check the metering lever ?
I have tried my hands and a drill I can't seem to get it
