Lets start with the model number so we can see what this thing looks like. It would be on a tag with the serial number, most likely starts with 21 or 41

If you taking about a wheeled edger than the tag will be on the frame. If this is a handheld type edger than could be on the shaft or the blower housing of the weedeater type head.

The 25a-515-966 is a 2007 model with a small 4 stroke weedeater type engine. If that resembles your engine most likely causes for your issue is valves out of adjustment, clogged fuel filter, or carb problems.
