I'm having similar problems that the OP is having, except mine runs decent for about 10 minutes (smokes a little), starts to get weak, and then shuts down and won't start until the next day.

My money is on ignition for that one. Impulse line issues would create problems that aren't so... repeatable. Eventually the coil will crap out completely. Run the saw until it dies then immediately check for spark. There be the answer you seek.

As in, I probably need to think about getting a coil?
