Carburetor Rebuild Kit
The MS 250 commonly uses Zama C1Q series carburetors where the metering diaphragm stiffens over time from ethanol fuel. This prevents the diaphragm from properly reacting to engine vacuum, causing the saw to stall once the initial prime is consumed. Replacing the diaphragm and needle valve restores the fuel demand regulation.

Fuel Line
This specific molded hose is a high-failure item on the 1123 chassis; it frequently develops hairline cracks at the 'elbow' where it enters the fuel tank. These cracks allow the fuel pump to suck air instead of fuel, leading to an immediate stall after starting as the fuel pressure drops under load.

Impulse Hose
The impulse hose transmits crankcase pressure pulses to the carburetor's fuel pump diaphragm. If this hose is cracked, softened, or disconnected, the carburetor cannot pull fuel from the tank into the bowl. The saw will start on residual fuel or prime but stall instantly because the pumping mechanism is inactive.
