Those ranchers are notoriously bad about that from what I've seen, I think it's mostly a quality control issue because the carbs used in those saws aren't held to the same QC as their 3 series and 5 series saws are. There is also a lot of issues with overheating and not starting after the Saw heats up and that's right out of the box. I would say check all of the regulars, maybe look and see if there is a fuel line routing problem, where the fuel line will pinch shut, also check the fuel filter for any problems and the compression, make sure it didn't eat something and won't run now because it loses compression too quickly.
Edit: you might want to check and make sure the choke is working properly also
I agree with this, a buddy of mine bought one brand new and had the same problem. Had it back to the dealer 3 times under warranty before they figured out it was a pinched fuel line.
