Whip the carb about and give it a good clean with some carb cleaner - there is a plastic ring that plugs in to the throat of the carb and also the impulse hole between the rubber carb boot and carb - make sure it is still there otherwise the saw will run like a bag of nails.

sometimes the choke linkage falls off the carb and the choke stays on a little bit, worth a check.
