I got the ms 250 and its a cool little saw. good replacement for my 034 which is a little heavy now for me.and I got it in 1988.
I heard about the starting issues on the 250 but thought I could deal with them. I figured out about pre pulling about 6 times with full choke and then it starts on the 2nd full pull. But today it flooded out when I did that. It was about 75 degrees out. So now I am thinking only 2 pre pulls on a warm day
before I pull fully with choke on....what do you think.... if you have one what is your experience..??
 
Not just the 250, I've had some 180s that do the same thing. Been working on an 017 that owner says won't start, I got it running but it's a finicky thing, tried adjusting the (new) carb every different way and still haven't found the sweet spot...
