550xp first tank ...

Ahh! I think I have it. I was pulling the switch out and all the way up. Then trying to push it down "one click".

So fast idle is "out , then all the way up, then all the way down, then release"

Start is basically where the switch springs back to after you stopped the saw the previous time.

Your choke was probably still on, or partly on. This will flood a warm saw.

When you pull out and up it engages choke and fast idle, then all the way down for no choke. The fast idle stays engaged until you hit the trigger.

Switch is always on and ready to start, you only need to decide if the saw needs choke and/or fast idle.

Right! Thanks for the clarification.

Right! Thanks for the clarification.

It's so simple you have to get used to it.

Some of, if not most of the warm start issues with the new auto tune saws are user era. Most folks are used to doin something with the switch, to re-start and are likely choking the saw.
