Craftsman chainsaw wont start

I have a 2 stroke craftsman chainsaw model 358350230 i bought used and it worked good for a few days then the gas line got cracked so we replaced that along with the air filter and it was ok for another 2-3 hours of run time but died after it ran out of gas and i cant get it back started again(always ran real hot too), spark plug is fine i even bought a rebuild kit for the carb and still nothing, tried starting fluid as well with no help(doesn't even attempt to fire) but after getting the carb back in today and trying to start it i noticed what looked like oil(or maybe gas?) dripping from the muffler and smoking. Ive looked in the cylinder already and its nice and shiny like it should be no scratches or anything. I have pretty good skills with this stuff but im stumped...anyone can help?
