I've got an ms280 that won't stay running it runs for a second sometimes sometimes it runs for a minute I've cleaned the carb and replaced the fuel line the piston looks like new from the intake side any ideas?
 
Check that the choke is opening. Tune carb to manufacturers specs. Check spark plug or fouling.
 
Did you change the fuel filter?
Why did you change the fuel hose, was it leaking?
There is a screen inside the carburetor that could have gotten plugged if it had a leak inside the tank.
Check your impulse hose and intake boot for leaks/cracks/splits.
 
Haven't replaced the diaphragm in the carb yet just checked the impulse line and the intake boot there fine sparkplug was cleaned and gaped proper in going to order a diaphragm for it this week already bought a new saw so don't want to put to much time or money in to it
