Carburetor needs to be overhauled and replace all fuel lines and fuel filter.

Don't use stabil. Use a modern synthetic saw oil (50:1 fuel to oil ratio) available at home centers, hardware stores, and saw dealers.

If it becomes apparent that the carburetor adjustments are wrong, you will need to see your dealer for adjustment. Good luck!
