What was the oil mix you were using? Also how old was your mix?  How rich is your saw set at?

Sounds like it got hot.  Gasoline nowadays goes bad really fast.  As the fuel degrades it stops burning and begins to combust.  It may help to run a little more oil in your fuel mix.  Also, try to keep the chain razor sharp so that the saw feeds by itself, reefing on the bar or forcing the unit to cut will push the heat up quick.

the mix was 50/1 and was no more than 2 months old the mixture screw hasnt been touched and only has one screw unlike my other 2 stroke machines there doesnt seem to be any high and low adjustment unless i am missing something so can only guess the one screw is tickover

I know that the manufactures recommend 50-1 mix but that is because of EPA standards that have to be met.
I would run at least 40-1.   I myself run 32-1 mix in everything I have including saws, string trimmers, and leaf blowers.   I have never had any problems with stuck rings, scoring on the piston, or bearings going bad because of a lack of oil.
PP 505, 475, 445.
