It could just need the carburetor adjusted or if its sat for a while new carb diaphragms. Are you familiar with the adjustment procedure? I'd carefully turn in the L screw and see if it will start if it idels fast then back it of some and use the idle screw to get a good smooth idle. It should transition smoothly form idle to wide open. I think initial setting for the L screw is around 1 and 1/2 turns out and H screw 1 turn out to 1 and 1/4. Be careful you don't want it running too lean bogging decrease in power fast idle and erattic running are signs of a lean condition. If that dosent help it you need to rebuild the carb which is very easy to do. Your saw most likely has a Tillotson HS here is good diagram of it. Other carbs will be similar in construction the site has many more listed.
