Echo 490, fairly new. Oil got sucked up into carb. I took carb all apart. Cleaned in gas . Saw will run on choke , as soon as I kick choke off it stops immediately. Wonder if high speed jet is still bunged. Think jets are pre set . going to , try cleaning carb again. . I think there are something covering jets . , so cant adjust. Any body have an idea. I also replaced filter in tank. old 243

Drain the gas tank, use a solvent like break parts cleaner in the gas tank. DO NOT START THE SAW with this in the tank. Take the spark plug wire off the spark plug so you have no ignition. Pull the sh!t out of the pull string. Dump left over solvent out of the tank. Remove sparkplug and pull string repeatedly. WD 40 sprayed into the spark plug hole works as a good lubricant for startup. Top off fluids and give it heck. Good luck jim

Some of the saws now take a special tool to set. others have plastic over the ends and if you break it off you can set just like normal. Not familiar with your saw. Probably better off taking it in to be repaired. You may be money ahead.
