I have a 420 stihl saw I installed a new carburetor new gas lines won’t start if I pour gas in cyclinder runs for a minute then cuts off need help figuring this one
Obviously it's not getting gas. remove the carb and recheck it. some have a plastic piece over the intake and output to keep the interior clean during transit. Forgetting to remove it will cause it not to get gas. Either that or the float is stuck closed, something like that. If the carb is new out of the box, they sometimes have a piece of plastic or something inside the float bowl to keep the float from banging around during shipping ect. Check that too.

Pump not working
Check the cylinder for compression if no compression there Courbet a bad Piston ring in the cylinder and it won’t stay running
