  1. Thanks for the tips, the spade connector on the coil end (blue wire) had some play so cleaned and tightened this. Not got enough wood at home to test properly, but idled for a while and it stopped fine, so hopefully problem solved. Have been using the choke to stop, is this bad for the saw at all? Sympathy to those with starting problems!
  2. Thanks, switch end of the connection looks fine, where's the other end? The stop switch works fine just after cold start. Also the idle changes to something more spluttery when hot stopping, it just doesn't cut out.
  3. Hi folks, yes it's true, been running a 346 in the woods for a couple of years and recently been having real trouble getting it to stop when hot. Just splutters along for a while until it eventually conks out, but can take minutes. Changed the spark plug but doesn't help. But it does seem to stop fine if it's a cold and damp day. Any ideas, should I be cleaning out the cylinder? Been running on Aspen.
