Problem with chainsaw

Hey,

My stihl chaisaw (MS181) has a problem with power. Its starts great i leave it to warm up and it works for some time and after it gets hot it starts to lose power... It gets stuck in wood easy etc.

To get full power i need to bring it up to speed by pushing gas on and off. Even then it doesnt have the full consistent power, rather it shakes...It has the same problem for a year and its been to service but they said its a regular problem and to work with it...

Frankly its getting anoying and not safe to work with... Im looking for any advice on servicing it my self.thanks alot.
