Many of us keep them wet year-round.
I ran one dry last fall. We’ll see how that turns out when I run it soon. Another personal experiment.

If you didn’t live so far away, I’d pay for lessons. After 50 years of working with saws, I actually know very little about working on them. When I started working with my Dad, we always had back up saws. If one died, you put it in Dad’s truck and grabbed another. He would drop it off at the saw shop on the way home. Like magic, a couple days later it would come back like new. I can’t get ethanol free gas near me. I can get it by my farm in WV, but it’s a full dollar more per gallon. They say if you switch to non ethanol you need to retune for it. I hate tuning saws.Clearly, you don't know what you're doing. You're supposed to use fresh stabilized no-ethanol fuel, run your saws dry, and then still get varnish. I can probably give you lessons.
Reset the mixture screw as well, I bet goofs that wirked on it messed them up. On tge 590 the H will be like one turn out maybe less, the L 1.5 turns out from lightly seated.I do plan to try a new plug, as mentioned above. Meanwhile, I have a carb rebuild kit on the way, in case nothing else works.
You have to hold the throttle wide openI made a little booboo. I have two saws that don't work, and I got them confused. I said the spark plug in the Echo was okay, but it wasn't. It was dark and oily. I put in a new one, and it made no difference at all. Not even a hint of a start.
The tip of the old plug looks kind of tan and powdery, but the rest is black.
Your saws are improperly tuned and you don't know how to start them correctly, or how to clear a flooded saw. I have 22 saws and all of them stare in one pull when hot, and a half dozen after sitting dry for months.
After being in saw fourms for 15 or more years the operator is at fault as much or more then the tool itself[emoji111]
Hopefully the Ultrasonic Cleaner won't kill the carburetor permanently, sometimes the cleaners will save a carburetor sometimes they will kill them, do to the internals.
I was getting ready to start a post about the Dukes carburetor. I have a 590 used I just acquired. I’m getting ready to open the muffler up and it appears that JB welding the carb may not be the best thing to do long-term.You try and rebuild your carb first with rebuild kit?
If your going to try a aftermarket carb. Get the 620 afm carb from Chris at Saw salvage. So far nobody has had issues. @Duke Thieroff

Because Chris the shop owner and most of us have our own chainsaw repair groups on FB. Threads about them all over the place being good to go.I was getting ready to start a post about the Dukes carburetor. I have a 590 used I just acquired.

So, as far as the Dukes 620 car, this is legit and works well?
Surprisingly this is the only thread I can find when searching the site on the subject.
