I hope y'all can help me out with this problem. I have an 026 that I have put a Chinese P&C on. Cold compression is 120 pounds. I put a new carb (again Chinese), plug, fuel line and filter on the saw and it only started when I dribbled a little fuel onto the air filter. Once started, it ran fine. I even cut a couple of 4" trees and a few other pieces of firewood with it. Two days (and after about half a tank) of fuel, the saw will start only with the "prime". It responds well to throttling for about 2 minutes. Then it quits, it restarts with prime and runs for only a few seconds. to me it seems like a fuel issue, but I don't know what to check for. Does anyone have any suggestions?
