Usually my problem with that is a clogged air filter which eventually will get sawdust into the carb. I blow out the filter or clean with gas every few hours of operation.
If it has been running well lately, it's not likely to be bad gas.

That does indeed sound exactly like a clogged air or fuel filter. I've had both many times, and even after all these years the process is pretty much like this:
1. Stupid saw.
2. Now what? Guess I'll take it to the shop.
3. Wait, we've been here before!
4. Check filters.
5. Dope slap.

My ms310 had same symptoms, after pulling my hair out it was a cracked fuel line. Same result as clogged filter, starved!
It could be a number of things. 2 possibilities have been mentioned. To add if this saw also show symptoms of difficulty of starting after being run for awhile the carb needs repair or replacement.
