Your carburetor “H” adjustment is slightly out of whack (probably a little lean). Please call a couple of local saw shops and ask how much to adjust your carburetor. I’d expect to pay $10 – 15. The shop the Pro's use is your best option. A sermon from Lou's pulpit follows, it explains why this happens and why Joe homeowner has to leap many hurdles to correct it.
Before taking it to them: Have a fresh (1.5 months or less) fuel mix with the same oil/fuel ratio (40:1 for your saw 3.2 oz/1 gal - I use 50:1 for all my saws; the next time you have it tuned I suggest you go to 50:1; Use Stihl or Husqvarna 2 cycle oil), are operating at the same elevation where it will be used, and the air filter is clean.
PS I'm Joe.
All new saws regardless of maker are set to run extremely lean to meet EPA mandated air quality standards. They are also fitted with a device to restrict richening the carburetor beyond initial factory settings this too required by the EPA. Most big box stores put them on the shelf and sell them to the consumer with no thought of how elevation may impact saw performance or longevity. Homeowners usually aren't concerned about changes in the saws performance until it quits operating. This combination results in many destroyed saws and homeowner saws of most brands being called trash!
Find a local chainsaw seller/mechanic. If they pull a saw off the shelf and hand it to you without making some adjustment or minimally ensuring it will run hand it back and leave. You can get this service at a big box store cheaper. Find a different seller/mechanic and try again. A good dealer will help you arrive at a saw that will meet your needs. He will ensure it runs properly and you have an understanding of how to properly operate it. Should a problem arise you have somewhere to go and if you were courteous with your dealer someone in your corner helping you rectify your problem.
