Carbeurator is clean, good spark. Saw was in storage and fuel lines were cleared. Just refueled with new fuel mix and she starts up great and will turn with the trigger held down, but dies when i try to let it idle.
Someplace near the carburetor should be an idle mix screw and an idle speed screw. There may also be a high-speed mix screw. Try turning the idle speed screw in 1/4-turn at a time until it idles. If you turn it too far, the clutch will always be engaged so the blade will never stop.
Once you get it to idle, adjust the idle mix screw in or out 1/4-turn at a time until it idles at the highest speed. Turn the mix screw in JUST until the idle speed starts to drop a little, then back it out 1/4 turn.
Now adjust the idle speed screw again until it idles smoothly at a low enough speed that the blade stops.

Are you sure you pump in the unit properly? Some carbs have the gasket against the carb body and some have the pump next to the body. Also check the needle valve for proper operation,and dirt.
