Might you be accidentally pressing the auto return stop switch ? I some times do that with a Husky hedge cutter .

Mine acted similarly and it turned out to be the coil, is the saw under warranty?

I've had the same problem with mine for 4 months...been back to dealer etc, etc...the way I'm sorting it out...is swapping it for an old Stihl MS260!

the stop button spring is broken maybe vibration putting choke on?the saw is from Denmark not planning going back any time soon no warranty, i like the stihl ms260 balance of the saw but not high enough revving saw for me!! brought up wi huskys had to see past them.

doesnt matter that you bought it in Denmark, the warranty is still valid in the uk if you have proof of purchase and is still within warranty term. (1 year)

cheers mate i will look into it

Warranty is two years, if the stop switch spring is broken the switch will fall down and stop the engine, not up and put the choke on.

We have two, one has had this problem now for the third time, it went in under warranty the first two times, when first bought and again after about 6 months, the third time was returned and worked for just two days before repeating the same fault, in with dealer at present, cuts out when trying to rev up, cold start been changed and throttle screw adjusted under computer set up by main dealer. The other 550xp just 9 months old and had no problems, working 5-6 days each week with the saws, along with three others saws for special jobs, and with four years experience working daily with chainsaws, both woodland coppicing and arb work.
