Best Answer

The carburetor gaskets are the most likely candidate. The carb gaskets in weedwackers act as a fuel pump. When the gaskets get stiff they no longer pump enough gas to feed the engine. The other possibility is a blocked carburetor passage or jet that is starving the engine, but my craftsman weedwacker had the same problem even after I cleaned the carb thoroughly. The gaskets were the fix. You can either have your carb serviced at a local lawn shop or if your good with small parts you can buy the kit and DIY.
