Remove that spark screen from the muffler and try it again.
If it still won't run right you've got other problems.
A 2 yr old trimmer shouldn't have needed a carb replacement. Were you using ethanol gas? Never use ethanol gas. Find a station that sells non-ethanol gas for your small engines. I know I'm making assumptions but small engines are relatively easy to diagnose and repair.
One last thing...are you leaving the choke on? Maybe on half choke? My aunt said the same thing about one of her Stihl trimmers not running on high but I determined she was running it with the choke on half way.

Choke is full off when trying to run.
I’m not sure on the ethanol free. Got regular unleaded from the race track station near me and mixed in the 2 cycle oil.
I’ll try removing the screen first. I don’t have a ton of time to mess with it so if it’s not expensive and taking forever to get it fixed by Pauli I’ll let him do it.
