Anyone got a good spot in the Metairie kenner area for getting a string trimmer repaired. Have had issues with my echo. It’s about two years old. Replaced carburetor once and still having issues with it cutting out.

You say it cuts out? You mean it'll idle but won't rev on high?

If it has a spark arrestor in the muffler - remove it. It's a small screen that clogs up with carbon and when you rev it the engine chokes out because it can't exhaust.

If the fuel tank has debris in there, slush some gas in it and pour out to remove the debris, then change the filter.

Aside from the spark arrestor screen you also might have a clogged catalytic converter. Yes, Echo puts a ceramic catalytic element in the mufflers of some equipment, had one in my PB-250LN.

Video on high mixture adjustment on an ECHO

Probably not your model and does seem to require a special tool but it sounds similar to what you describe.
