Hello, I'm new to this sight and need some help. I have a Stihl 024 that I bought new in 86 and never had any trouble with it until yesterday. The saw started running poorly so I adjusted the high/low screws. It ran ok but still was'nt right. I ran it until it ran out of gas and after refueling it was hard to start and still didn't run right. I put a kit in the carb and it still wont run right. It wont start unless you prime it and then it will only run if you keep it throttled up. It runs for a little while (throttled up) and then it acts like it runs out of gas. I pulled the fuel line out and checked it it seems to be o.k., filters o.k., new plug. The fuel line portion that stays in tank is soft but I blowed and sucked on it, it doesnt act like it is collapsing. Gas is fresh, I have already cut a cord with it this season. Saw has quite a few hours on it, I have cut a bunch of wood with it. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
