Yours sounds like it is sucking air...... especially at full throttle. Once you check out your fuel line I also recommend you use Startron in your mix...... it may save your saw from going lean because of the H2O the ethanol attracts.
A lot of guys up here have had saws destroyed because of this ethanol garbage......... two stroke sleds, too!

+1 We have a Stihl "Multitool" and now add the Sta-Bil Marine formula to counteract the ethanol crap. Our dealer says that ethanol-related repairs make up 75% of the problems they are repairing.
