Sounds like a fuel delivery issue.

Case seals, going through the same thing on an 026 right now and it has bad case seals.

It's not on the bench yet but it will be soon. I pick this one up yesterday, Ive been looking for one for awhile. Topend is scored hopefully it will clean up.

I would strip the carb again. Is it possible to choke it with ur thumb and pull it over, to see fuel is being well drawn up.I squirted fuel mix into the spark plug hole and it only popped a few times but never really fired up. I've adjusted the carb every way I can think of and it's clean so I'm thinking the scored piston is what's wrong. I looked at the seal on the flywheel side when I repaired the ignition and didn't see any oily stuff around it so I kinda assumed it was okay but haven't checked the clutch side yet. It's hard to do a pressure/vac test on these saws without tearing them all apart.
I like Permatex MotosealI finnaly persuaded all the bolts to come out of the tank on my homelite 550 and seperated the halves. Should I use yamabond 4 or 5 to seal my tank halves?
