Help with a Husqvarna 25R brush saw

I inherited a nice Husqvarna brush saw. It was my FIL and had little use. I used it about 6 years ago and it ran great. When I was done with it, I drained all the gas And stored it away. Well yesterday I added fresh premix gas and I could not get it going. Turns out the primer build is not pulling fuel into the carb. It runs for a few seconds on spray. I checked all the fuel lines and they are in great shape for a 23 year old machine. Pulled the carb thinking it was gummed up but it was fine. Figured I would order a new carb. The carb is no longer available anywhere.
Does anyone know of a replacement carb that will work on this machine?

Why replace the carb when you don't know for sure that it's the problem?

Check the fuel line. I had similar behaviour from a Husky blower and it turned out the fuel line had disintegrated in the tank.

I found the issue. All fuel lines are good but the priming bulb had a small crack. I had to use a magnifying glass to see it. Lucky for me a craftsman priming build works. Started in 3 pulls.
Thanks for all the feedback.
