Hard to start?

I have a old stihl chain saw 032AV and up to last year ran fine, now i pull the rope at least 15 times with the chock on and i then take out the sparkplug it is dry.
After i pour a little gasoline in the hole and replace the plug it will start.What could be the problem?
Thanks, Joe

No fuel. the fuel hose may be detiorated causing an air leak. More than likely the carb needs to come apart and cleaned out the fuel deliver port may be plugged. Use low pressure compressed air.
