Saw is fixed!!!
I fixed the saw today and cut for several hours without issue. It turns out that the tank vent was clogged, not the tank vent hose assembly. I had replaced the tank vent hose assembly because it was cracked. Apparantly while it was cracked, fine sawdust got sucked into the threads of the screw inside the plastic vent nipple. I pried the vent nipple off of the tank, removed screw, cleaned threads and blew everything out and reassembled. PERFECT! Thanks to all for the advice!
