wont start

So I'm a newbie. I've done a little bit of clearing for work, so I'm comfortable with saws. Planning on getting some vacant land soon and figured I'd need a saw to clear stuff on there/fire wood. I have this condition where instead of buying a new, working machine, I'll buy an cheap broken...

Bought a 445 as a parts saw but decided to repair and run it. Having zero luck getting this thing running. New Carb(dry tuned 1.5 H/L), new lines, air/fuel filter, new plug with good spark, rubber necks not torn nor have holes, piston is good and compressing at 170. Sure I’m missing something...
