I think your saw is severely flooded, I've seen this exact issue when I had an arrestor screen plugged solid on an 025. Took air cleaner off, held saw upside down with throttle held wide open and gas ran out of carb.
easy start has the pawls on the flywheel on the 250. flywheels have two magnets and a builtin keyway in the two i have seen. One oem and one a copy. the ipl is current.In fact, media cat only shows one coil for the 021,023,025,210,230,250 all the same coil and flywheel unless it's the easy start, that's the only one that is different, and if it were an easy start flywheel, you'd never get an 025 recoil over the flywheel.

Hdtoolmkr765, you are the winner! The latest posts tell me the coil and flywheel are matched. I bought an inline spark tester on the way home tonight and , as expected, lots of spark. Opened it up and tipped it upside down and as you suggest, some gas poured out. I put the 18 year old original plug back in and it fired. Yay!
Adjusted the carb and its running pretty good now. I've been a hobby mechanic for 30 years and have worked on all kinds of 2 strokes but have never seen this exact problem. Usually a dry plug in a flooded engine will give some sort of feeble pop at first. Now I know - thanks for all your kind help and prompt answers.
I was just giving you the differences. I had the ipl. It's great it's running. Whole point.I understand the flywheel differences between the easy start and non, but if you have an easy start flywheel on the saw, a non easy start recoil will not physically fit over the flywheel.
