What a coincidence. I post on this thread about small engine problems and wouldn't you know it, I have a problem. Last weekend I fire up the weedwacker and it runs terrible. Only will run with the choke on halfway. Now that I think of it, it ran bad when I put it down for the winter.

Cheap little diaphragm carb. The diaphragms wear out and they can't pump enough fuel - the only way it will run is when you cut off most of the air.

Go on ebay, buy a new one for $25 including shipping, throw on some new fuel lines ($5) and it runs like brand new.
