Why does my Echo chainsaw stall when I give it gas?

The carburetor might be clogged. A clogged carburetor is often caused by leaving fuel in the chainsaw for a long period of time.

Why does my chainsaw dies when I give it throttle?

If your chainsaw engine dies at full throttle, check the following parts: the carburetor, fuel lines, fuel filter, air filter, and muffler. When the carb becomes clogged (which is often the result of old fuel sitting in it over a long period of time, like over the winter), it will not perform this task effectively.
