Make sure your chain oiler is working and the chain tension isn't too tight. A chain that's binding will bog the engine down.
If that's OK, if the engine quits altogether, check for spark - the coil could be acting up.
If it doesn't give out altogether, go to your hi/lo screws on the side of the carburetor and turn out the hi speed about 1/16th of an inch. That will richen up the mixture - it may be running hot.
Also check the gas cap vent to make sure it's clear.
