Hey, finally got my 320 started again today.

Its still doing what it used to do which is..

I can leave it to warm up for a while, let it idle and its fine, but if you give it a few revs and let ur foot off the throttle completly it will kind of die out, as if its thinking about stalling before returning to the idle..

:< any ideas as I really would like to know wtf is up with it :cry:

Take off the air intake hose and check it for tears and splits, and while it's off, check the operation of the throttle position switch with a meter.
