I experienced this problem first hand, my error was that i used the wrong type of gasoline in the machine which caused it to shut off after several seconds while idling. Another thing to check is the spark plug because there can be significant carbon build up on it. I have a 4 stroke Makita weed eater by the way so i just had to remove the gas from the chamber and replace it with premium unleaded gasoline.
