Muffler screen plugged up?
Maybe the rings are on their way out, how may hours on the saw? how is the compression?

From my experience with stihl saws, I would remove the exhaust screen. I always remove mine whne brand new, I also polish up the exhaut port a bit and run premium fuel.

I have been running without screens for a couple years, no fires, nothing ever got sucked in and dammaged the engine. One time a mouse left a bunch of seeds and turds in my 066 muffler, but that about it. But if your cutting crown land you might want to check the regulations.
One other thing to check is the tank vent, next time the saw starts to bog, put it on it's side and loosen the gas cap, if the problem goes away you have found what to fix.

Sure sounds like a plugged muffler screen. Easy to try and fix that first.

My 029 used to bog down too, then I discovered yellow chain. End of problem.
The saw is about 3 years old but the compression is good but I have noticed that it is alot quiter than my other smaller tree trimming saws though
What would be the best way to clean the exaust port with carb. cleaner?
Thanks everbody for the advise I will try these things and let you all know if they work.you all are better than a repair shop. thanks again.
