Don't Really want to spend a lot of money or time on this trimmer but just want to see if it is worth the time. It was sitting for a while and it did start up right away so let it warm up and starting using it and then after about 10min or so it started dying could restart but at full power it would begin to stall again. Left it but looked at it today and this is what I did to get it running better if at all, new fuel,new fuel lines, cleaned air filter, new spark plug,new fuel filter also I did flush the carb as well. So it will run somewhat but will idle but any higher than idle it sounds like it is dieseling, and it is getting very hot. I also checked the exhaust screen and it is clean. Any help for this or should I just toss it???? I've had it since new and it is in really good shape except for this new problem. Also by pulling the start rope seems to have good compression. Thanks in advance for the HELP !!!

Seeing as how I didn't get any replies on this problem I did try a few more things but still came up with the same issues so I just dismantled it and it's in the trash. Really did give me good service for all the years I had it. Only big thing is I think compression wasn't up to specs because it did turn over pretty easy compared to other 2 cycles I have.
