Husqvarna chainsaw dies when hot

17 years ago

It's about 8 years old. It runs fine for 10 minutes or so then it cuts off and won't restart until it cools off for awhile. It only cuts off when idling. So, if I'm cutting through a big log and it's "past its time" it will work OK until I let off the throttle. The problem has gradually gotten worse over the last couple of seasons. I recently replaced the ignition coil and a new plug and it made no difference. I'm pretty sure it's lack of spark because when I look down the carb throat I can see gas vapors. Could the magneto magnets be weak?
