The symptoms are consistant with a light seize, if you can't get it running right, it will be worth pulling the exhaust off and looking at the piston through the exhaust port. Any scoring and it is bad news.

 

Other than that, a holed fuel line, blocked fuel tank breather and blocked carb internal fuel gauze strainer all can cause these issues. Worth checking the plug as well for colour and condition.

Ah!!!! looks like there is scaring on the piston Spud, what`s the next step now, can it be salvaged?????

 

I have saved them before, you will need to do as Eddie has suggested, as well as seeing if the cylinder can be cleaned, and if it can - clean it and lightly abrade the bore and fit an OEM or Meteor piston and then do a full pressure and vacuum check plus the fuel system checks.

 

If the saw is checkedover thoroughly and the bore is checked over and sorted, the saw should live again!

 

Worst case is a new cylinder and piston will be needed.
