I have a MS250 that's only two years old and has barely been used. I doubt it has more than four or five hours on it. It will start up with some work, but it idles for a couple seconds then dies most of the time, and when it doesn't die on its own, it dies when I try to give it any gas. I asked my brother to take a look at it since he's fixed a number of chainsaws, and he says it looks like it isn't getting fuel. We pulled out the carb and opened it up, and the check valve looked perfect and everything was as clean and shiny as you'd expect a basically brand new saw to look. It did sit with gas in it for a while, but there are no visible signs of any damage to the carb as a result. I tried putting new gas in it and starting it up but it didn't make a difference.
Does anyone have any ideas about what could be wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks for any help.
