And check the springs on the pawls on the flywheel. They can become old and worn and the pawls don't engage on the recoil..
I'm here
These guys have u on right track

the flywheel pawl springs don't need to be hard, but the pawls do need to move smoothly....and not be damaged. same as the starter pawl engager....whatever thats called.
It's called the 'the pain maker' (when you are tensioning up the recoil spring to put new rope in and it spins loose and causes finger turmoil...)
update, ordering pawls and springs, they seem loose and has minor damage (compared to other 254xp I have my hands on atm)
Also, can someone comment on this picture of the starter pulley.
It's hard to see, but the metal in the middle has some minor wear to it, like metal fracture, not alot but still, can this cause the pull/startup to be bad as well?

By fracture do you mean a crack? Or just metal being worn away? If there is no crack your starter looks OK. If there is a crack I would replace it. In my opinion.
That looks okay to me when you get the new starter Paul Install them and watch them engage you should be able to look through the starter cover slits and see it happening
not crack no. I guess it's metal worn away.
Thanks for the replies, saves me some money, I'm pretty sure the pawls and springs needs replacing, will also have a look at the starter pulley/cord, take it apart etc.

Update. Changed to pawls springs, doesn't "skip" now, so thats good! But.....It still won't start AT ALL without me holding the throttle while pulling the cord.
Trying to adjust the carb screws, but won't seem to do much for me.....
advice for this problem?
In short, the saw only wants to start while I hold the throttle in while I pull the cord.

Likely flooded. Take the plug out....turn saw upside down while rotating the crank with the starter and dump the fuel out.
Gotta find out why it's flooded

Update. Last one.
Got it going descently now.
But can anyone confirm, the saw has problems running at idle, I cant turn the idle speed up without the chain going with it.
And I cant turn the L screw so that it wont die at idle.
Is this, or can it, be a weak clutch spring?

Sounds like clutch springs if you can't get it to idle without the chain rotating. If you get the chain to stop rotating does it stall and die?

Here is my 262xp at idle. It is also quite bouncy. It's from the same family as the 254xp. The av on these is not as smooth as more recent saws. The 262xp does however have springs, the 254xp still has rubber mounts.

god that is such a great answer! I love this forum! thanks!How about that clutch spring question....bugs me a little that I can almost hear it die out while idling, it's...CLOSE sometimes to dieing while idling...very very close. Will a new spring help me out here? The cost is negligiblee at this point
More or less, I can find a sweet spot, but....it's VERY close to dieing, sounds like it's juuuuust about to die out.
Try some springs. It's surprising how much of a difference a set of springs make..
