You may, and likely do have multiple things going on. That shop is a joke for one. The three pieces in the trigger assembly are all replacable. Trigger, spring and latch. If either the trigger or latch breaks, the broken piece usually stays in there limiting movement. To have a look at what's going on, remove the latch by using a small screwdriver to open the slot in the handle just enough to allow the latch to rise past it's 2 little stops. Then take it out by pullijg it back. Unlike many saws, the 359 latch is not pinned into the handle. The plastic on the rear of the throttle link itself should be examined to see if it's moving or the end is kind of smooshed in. On a saw with a lot of time, they often need to be replaced. The other thing that affects throttle travel, is a loose rear mount. There are 2 screws to tighten the mount, and you need to remover the outer screw in order to tighten the inner one.

But that has nothing to do with the starting issue. First thing you should check is the small impulse line that goes from the partition wall to the carb flange. If it's off or torn, the saw will fire on the prime, and maybe even choke, but will quickly stall after that. It's small and snipping that small amount from your fuel line will solve the problem in a pinch.

The Chinese carb...ERRRR! They are so hit and mis. Don't assume it's OK. I have a rule in my store that anything that comes in with one of those cheap carbs, that the starting point for us is we will replace it with a proper OEM carb or we won't work on the unit. 2 and 4 stroke. I understand that it's "worth a try" for the customer, but we are too busy to waste time de-bugging that stuff.

About all I can think of without having it in front of me.
