Your chainsaw has a "twist bump" style throttle linkage. Pull off the air filter cover and inspect the operation of this linkage on the right side of the carb. There may be debris clogging things up or the linkage could have been overworked and snapped out of place. Also, check to make sure you dont have the Multi-function lever (kill/ choke switch) set to half choke.
