  1. Thanks for all the replies. I stripped the carb off and gave it all a good clean and on reassembly noticed excessive play in the metal choke pawl on the shaft. This seems to sit against the throttle cable holder at a certain point, excuse my terminology, hope the video helps. Manage to squeeze it gently with pliers and has helped. Guessing with the saw running the vibrations caused it to move over and would explain how I couldnt replicate the issue non running. Haven’t used the saw running as too late but will update the post if needed, thanks all. IMG_2330.MOV
  2. Hi all, I have a strange problem with my 576xp. When the saw is running, the throttle will stick open slightly and seems to stick open for random amount of time. It will return to idle after a second or too and sometimes sticks until I tap side of the saw. When the saw is off it won’t do it at all. I have removed the throttle cable and had the saw running and pushed the throttle linkage by hand and it will stick open slightly then return?? Any ideas?? Have the cleaned the linkages and still the same. Strange as only does it when running, would this be blow-by causing it? Any help is appreciated thanks
  3. Is this a heated handle model? Just had a look at my 576xp non heated version and the only wire visible is for the stop switch which is a female spade connector, not a ring terminal. Mine is normal carb not auto tune which may differ?
  4. I had similar issues with my mk2 550xp and ended up being the tank vent was faulty. Try taking the fuel cap off whilst running on to see if it settles.
  5. <p>Hi Steve , just a message to say I've received the saw and thanks for your brilliant service again. Cheers Ollie</p>
