I was using my 330 yesterday to clean up some storm damage. The saw just died in the middle of a cut ...no spark. 
I pulled the muffler and found the switch wire was so short that engine vibration had rubbed the insulation off and grounded the saw. I cut the wire and soldered in another 2 inches to get the wire away from the cylinder. Covered both splices with heat shrink wrap. My brother has a 330 that developed the same problem. Not sure if this is common to these saws but it's a pretty cheap/easy fix.
