Karla,
Thank you for all your support and effort to assist me. I apologize that it has taken me so long to respond. I found a Husqvarna dealer that worked on the chain saw. They thought it would be a simple adjustment of the carb but they said since the saw had sat so long without use, the fuel line had a kink in it and they replaced it. They did the work for free since Husqvarna did not have the saw in their system. They could tell the saw had never been used.
The saw does run now, not as good as I had anticipated but it will start and I have trimmed some small trees in the yard. Again, I appreciate your comments.
Thanks,
Ron

Karla,
I put fresh fuel in the saw, the same 50:1 fuel that runs my Stihl chainsaw and MTD snow thrower with no problem. I press the primer bulb the recommended amount of times and pull the choke out. After about 5 pulls the saw starts and I let it warm up but it sputters off. I pull it a few more times and it starts and then I pull the throttle which turns the choke off and the saw dies. No matter if you engage the throttle slowly or very fast....it dies. Once started it will not idle for very long without dying. After about 10 iterations of this the saw will not start at all with the choke off or on.
The one good thing about the saw is I am starting to build up the muscles in my right arm and the chain is never dull.
Thanks,
Ron
