Thanks for the follow up .
Funny how things go in clusters .
You would be the 10th or so person this month with a cloged up fuel tank.
Lets hope the celebrations were not too early.

Thanks for your help. Two others on the forum kept telling me to clean the tank but I could not see anything in the tank. The picture I saw of the tank tube with grass clippings pluging it up and sticking out of it was something I could see and what I was looking for. The way you explained what falls into a fuel tank and what happens to it after it is in the tank convinced me to drain the tank and clean it out. This fixed the problem. Thank you very very much.

Have you tried running it briefly without air filter in place? Part of fuel is air, after all. I've seen this exact thing once before. But it was accompanied by a sooty looking exhaust the time I saw it. Had smilar issue with a small gasoline powered edger, and was dirty air filter. No sooty discharge that time, but air filter was culprit anyway.
