I have a Stihl 460 brush cutter that wont deliver full revs when it's fuel drops below a half a tank it's just cuts out. It's got a new fuel filter I can't see and holes in the pipe air filter is clean any ideas?

Pipe caught up in the tank . Try repositioning it . Some times the larger filters on the end can do this . I swapped a filter for a smaller diameter Oregon one as it was doing this in a hedge cutter .

Pressure test the fuel line or just replace it. It sounds like that the carb draws in air through a split or hole in the line once not submerged  in fuel - most likely reason! 

It may possibly be issues with the pump diaphragm or shyte in the gauze strainer but the level of the tank shouldn't effect these issues.
