Cheater! (Where can I get one of those Number 37?)by my primer bulb that I push on.
Thank you everyone for your fine replies, you guys are great. I sure do understand the priming sequence now, however, my saw still doesn't fire up like it should. Runs great though if I squirt fuel in the carb at start up. I rebuilt the carb, got new tank breather vent, new air filter, rubber fuel and impulse lines are good for pressure but still no luck. I thought I could troubleshoot this myself but I think it's time to take saw to doctor, I have spent 3 weeks in my spare time fiddlin' with it. Thanks for your help.......

My 064 is really hard to get going as well.
Let your saw sit for a few days and then pull the fuel cap off. You should hear a hissing from the pressure escaping the tank. If not, replace the fuel cap. With your saw taking so many pulls to start when cold, leads me to think fuel tank pressure is bleeding off. The carb is having to prime the whole fuel line then. Once it does, it will start on the first pull.My 064 is really hard to get going as well. The impulse is new and the carb was rebuilt but no matter what it wtake way too many pulls to get it going. Now every time I am going to use it I just squirt a tad of fuel in through the carb using a small plastic water bottle that I burnt a tiny hole in the lid. Works great, saw starts after 3 pulls and 1 after warm. I never could figure it out.

Check - Brand new Stihl brand air filter installed last week, choke flap seals good...There were alot of bad airfilters on 026's that concerned the choke not closing tight enough.
Check - New fuel line, master control switch and switch spring installed today as well, choke flap fully closed, still no startie.... Make sure the throttle lever is pushing the choke all the way closed.
