Turns out my brother was working on his friend's older Stihl BP blower that was having a similar issue. He cleaned the carb and adjusted and the thing ran fine for him but when his friend got it home it would run fine for a while and then start bogging down. His friend ended up buying a new blower. I almost wonder now if it might not be a coil issue were when it warms up from running it isn't losing resistance in the coil due to heat and then cutting out or not firing right?
I still think I'd try running it with the choke partly closed when it starts acting up to see if it clears. If it does clear that would indicate a lean situation meaning a plugged jet somewhere in the carb.
