carb is clean on my mac 3515 c saw. It seems to flood very easily and then won't start no matter where the settings are.

Most common problem for mac 3200, 3216,18 3516, etc. is the diaphram/fuel pump. As mentioned in another response, the fuel lines WILL crack after being stored and the fuel primer bulb will also need to be checked. I have approx. 35+ mac saw's that all have either walbro or zama carbs. They are very easy to rebuild and it's worth your time to do so.

I have one of these. remove the primer bulb and check the condition of the gas lines connected to it

sounds like you need a diaphram in the carb .go and get a carb kit for the carb. look on the carb to see if it is a walbro or zama and take the # off it ,should be something like wa-42 or wt-67 this will be the kit #. if the dia are hard or stiff there bad also setting the needle valve is critical. set the mixture screws to 1 12 from closed start and then make final adj.

Replace the fuel lines they are probably broken.

My brother and I just took my 3516 pretty much apart except for removing the flywheel and oil pump. You can find a parts list at http://ipl.ordertree.com/ipl/327/Chainsaws_32cc-35cc-38cc_Anti-Vibe.pdf . Not sure where you can get a user manual online, I have a hard copy I could scan and email.

it could be the diaphram inside the carb is farctured or split.if not sounds like a burnt valve.
