I believe that it is effected by the equinox. Because the sun appears to move faster across our sky's in the winter or slower in the summer this might be the main cause of why a solar eclipse might differ in time. The moons distance from the earth also differs and this may also affect the rate of time that a lunar or solar eclipse occurs.

∙ 11y agoThe entire solar eclipse can take several hours, and the path of totality can go a quarter of the way around the world. But if you're standing still in one spot on the Earth, the period of totality will never be longer than about 8 minutes 30 seconds.
