Brand new Echo weed eater starts, runs for about a minute, cuts off.

Literally bought this thing this afternoon. What am I doing wrong? Or do I have a lemon?
The thing starts fine, but cuts off after it runs for a minute or two.

Did your boyfriend put gas in it for you?

Run some Trufuel through it baw. If it still does it, take it back

Is it possibly overheating? Or maybe an ignition problem.

Where did you get it from? I returned an Echo trimmer to the store last week because I didn't need it anymore.

If my Stihl ever dies, I'm going electric.

It's 50:1. I mixed the little oil thing that came with it with a gallon of gas.

I have an echo that's 4-5 years old and it runs much better with ethanol free gas. That's why I suggested Trufuel.

Mine did the same thing, I had to play with it awhile and get it running before it stayed on

Yep, I went battery. Few things are more aggravating than a two-stroke engine.
