Sthil 201 cutting out at full revs?

I have a 201 and it has been steadily getting worse over the last couple of weeks.

It starts up fine and runs for maybe an hour stop start, but then out of nowhere when it hits full revs it cuts out.

I can keep it going by not cutting with my trigger finger right down but it is a pain in arse.

It's almost like it can't cope with being overloaded with work (but I'm not doing anything strenuous with it).

All the usually maintenance is done with it. Any ideas or thoughts on what it could be? Thanks in advance

That's what I thought, the fact it runs for an hour before it starts playing up had me thinking it was on overheating issue. I will check the coil flywheel gap and clean through the carb as well. Hopefully something will just click. It's a pain because you can't just test it straight away.
