We went out and cut wood yesterday, and thankfully we took 3 chainsaws. Our smallest one kept shutting off. It would start right back up but then would just shut off. It shut off once in the middle of the tree that we were cutting?
 
There was just another thread with similar question - turned out to be clogged/dirty muffler/ spark arrestor -- the restriction in the ehxaust causes back pressure. This may not be your problem, but check the exhaust and clean the muffler and spark arrestor screen.

Good Luck ! :smile:
