This could well be an issue with the fuel tank breather, when the problem occurs try quikly losening the fuel cap, if it picks up again it needs the take breather replacing
Make sure that your chain is properly tightened and that the bar does not have any dents or dings in guide groove.I like to have my chains tightened to where you can pull them up at the mid-point of the bar about enough to fit the thickness of a nickle in between it and the bar.Do this when saw and chain are at operating temperature.If nothing else helps try a new chain if you have reached the end of tensioning adjustments. Thank you.
You provide no manual, I chose a "DCS34" a link follows: http://www.makita.ca/data/upload/tools/DCS34%20F-E.pdf
It lists no starting point for the "H" and "L" needle valves, I recommend 1.5 CCW from lightly seated. then tune for performance like this: Carburetor Adjustment by Madsens.com http://www.madsens1.com/saw%20carb%20tune.htm CW is leaner; to lean will destroy the saw. If over tightened closed (CW) the adjustment screw faces are easily marred; marred adjustments are difficult to impossible to set properly. Clean the air filter and spark arrestor; adjusting with a dirty filter can cause a run lean condition once cleaned and the saw run. If the saw cannot exhale it cannot inhale. There are 2 wav (sound - idle & full – may not be highlighted) files that I find most helpful, I think you will too.
