Chainsaw help

Hello, I have looked at these forums many times, this is my first post. I am trying to avoid taking my Husqvarna 345 to my local repair shop. I have spent far to much there and I feel like I should be able to figure this out. This saw bogs down when I try to cut with it and the area of the clutch/brake brand gets very hot. It revs well when held in the air. I am using a sharp chain, properly tensioned, am getting proper chain oiling and have replaced the roller bearing on the sprocket. There is nothing obviously wrong with the clutch. Should I replace the clutch? What else could it be? Thanks for the help.
