Stihl 028 bogs down when cutting?

Stihl 028 bogs down when cutting, replaced bar and chain, new gas / oil still

I love this saw and hate to part with it after about 23 years.

Suggestions?

You need to adjust the carburetor. It is not getting enough fuel for high speed. Turn the "H" or High speed jet screw out a little at a time until it picks up speed. If you have turned it out about 2-3 turns and will still not work properly then you probably need a carburetor rebuild.
