So your weed eater fails to start. Is the unit fueled up? Since it's a two stoke the gasoline must be mixed with two stroke oil. The mix ratio is 40 to 1. That's 40 parts gasoline to 1 part oil. If there is fuel in the gas tank now, how old is it? If the unit was stored incorrectly the gasoline may have gone bad and gummed up the carburetor. If this is the case, the old gasoline will smell like varnish and the carburetor need to be overhauled and cleaned.
