The reason for that may be you’re using the saw at altitude or the carburetor adjustment has simply slipped. The saw also won’t operate well at speed if the air filter or spark arrestor or carburetor are dirty.

Why does my Stihl chainsaw dies when I give it gas?

If the filter becomes clogged, not enough fuel will reach the engine for it to run properly. Because your chainsaw will idle, but dies when it is revved up to full power, it means that the filter is only partially clogged; it will allow enough fuel to the engine to run on idle, but not enough to sustain full throttle.

How does the throttle work on a chainsaw?

The carb is operating “normally” at full throttle. In this case, the throttle plate is parallel to the length of the tube, allowing maximum air to flow through the carb. The air flow creates a nice vacuum in the venturi, and this vacuum draws in a metered amount of fuel through the jet.
