Heres one... does your have the primer bulb? The first one I owned ran great. So well in fact I bought another. The first one had no primer bulb. The second one did. Now the second one ran good for a while and then would quit. If you opened the fuel tank you could hear it suck air. Soon the saw began leaking fuel so bad I could no longer use it. The saw had about 5 hours on it. When you pumped up the primer bulb the saw was blowing either the line off of the bulb feed or blow the tank plug at the line feed. Service dept was no help bought from Lowes but sat in box for a year. Stuck with bum expensive saw.

Sounds like it may be running very rich which lets the engine start ok when cold but getts boggy when warm. Clean the airfilter in soapy water, dry thoroughly, turn the "H" setting all the way in and then anticlockwise by 1 turn, fire the beast up and warm it up, on full throttle get the setting so it really revs up freely and then turn anti clock wise till the engine just burbles slightly, this will only be half a turn to one turn.
Hopefully this will work, if it doesnt then it may be a partially blocked jet:-(
