i have a stihl 031av that i can only get to fire up when i first prime it with gas then shuts off. doe anyone have any ideas on what it could be? ive checked the fuel/impulse line. and replaced the diaphragm on the carb, is there any possibility it could be the needle and seat?

A blocked up main jet could certainly cause that.

Strip the carb right down clean it out totally with solvent and compressed air?

Careful with compressed air. It will damage the check nozzle

The fuel line coming out of the top of the tank kinks easily.  That may cause a problem.
