Have a Homelite mightylite 26ss String Trimmer. When i pull the trigger in the run position it cuts out and will shut off continuously. I checked the filter screen and it is clean(looks brand new). I've only had this trimmer two years. Do you have any solutions to my issue?
Let the engine warm at idle adequately before applying full throttle. With the engine warm, slowly bump the throttle and see if the response is good: if the engine wants to die again, let it continue warming at idle. If the problem persists, check that you are mixing your oil/gas mixture at the correct ratio: too much oil and you risk clogged the works.
