I am having trouble starting my saw when it has been run for 20 min. If I shut it off and fill it with gas it starts fine, but if I shut it off and wait 5 t0 10 min the only way I can get it started is to keep pushing the primer bulb untill I can finnaly give it some throtle. It has only been run for 2 hrs. Model 2075 Any suggestions

Sounds like you are experiencing vapour lock.
The heat buildup is causing the fuel in the carburetor to turn to vapour and the carburetor is not designed to pump vapour.
Let the saw cool off a bit before filling the tank. This problem occurs in all small units in hot weather. When you pump the primer bulb you are helping to bring fuel into the carburetor and get rid of the vapour.

Its only ran for 2 hours ? is that mean only 2 hrs. old ?If so it is not under warranty?
Sounds like im asking the questions. But to me it sounds like a sm. could be just a pin hole in the fuel line.
