I have a new 762XP with about one tank of gas through it. I haven't had any issues during the first tank, but this morning I was cutting through a 16" trunk when the saw essentially became gutless and wouldn't make any power.
I was about halfway through the trunk that was on the ground horizontally and the saw was upright. When I took the saw out of the tree and revved it, it revved fine, didn't put out any smoke or anything. The chain moved easy enough, was well-oiled, and when I took the bar and chain off, the oiler as not plugged. I did notice that when it bogged down, there was some heat generated, because the wood was steaming/smoking.
When I took the bar out and revved the saw, eventually the bar got hot, but was still well oiled and the chain spun easily.
Any ideas? I checked the bar and it is not bent, and from what I could tell the rollers moved freely and the track in the bar was clean.
