my 272 Husky has been sitting a while and wont start, it has spark and pulse, if i pour fuel in carb it will run til it uses the fuel up. so I went through the carb a Tillotson -install a kit clean each orifice with carb cleaner to make sure they were open -replaced fuel line and filter with no change . went though carb 3 times thinking I may have missed something. any advise appreciated

Did you replace the strainer in the pump chamber? Sometimes there can be corrosion behind that screen.
