after putting the saw all back together i cannot get it to fire it has new carb, bearings ,gaskets and fuel lines ,but it does want to go as it fires but only a couple of cycles of the piston very strange

Hi spud i have the off and cleaned it so piston will be the next thing any idea what sort of reading i should get on my compressin tester spud

Should there be alot of air bubbles coming from carb to the purge bulb ?

If it still floods will i have to change the needle

Is that 1 and a quarter turns

I have one of the saws all back together but it will not start i have got a good spark and compression is about 150psi after 5 pulls of the pull cord but there is a very strong smell of petrol after the 5 pulls i also have the choke out at the same time but still a non starter ? Confused

can anyone help me please as i have a saw that is refusing to start

Sorry forgot to mention in pervious post that i have replaced both bearings and seals on the crankshaft
