What’s wrong with my gas trimmer?

It runs on gas instead of electricity.

Specifically... I don't know. Guessing the carb is all gummed up.

First off, it’s been sitting for a few years.

If it's been sitting that long with stale gas in it which was most likely never drained properly before storing it...you will need to remove the carb a give it a really good cleaning (or even soak it in a carb cleaner solution). I'd be willing to bet it's all gummed up with carbon buildup in there. Other thing, I'd do is check the fuel lines and fuel filter. I don't think just running a fuel cleaner mixed in the gas will help much if it's been sitting that long, but just my opinion.

Spark plug, air filter, carburetor, small screen over exhaust, fuel line, fuel filter, check and clean all these and should be good to go.

check primer bulb for cracks

gonna be clogged fuel filter of trash in the carb

put dat seafoam in dere baw...

Sounds like every experience I ever had w a weed eater. Until I switched to the premixed fuel.

Something with is in the fuel line or filter is bad the fuel line is trashed.

Yup.

The carb may get just enough gas when full and then when 1/4 or less of fuel with air leak not getting enough fuel to carb.

Without looking at it.

I would check to see with my small pump to see if carb leaking.

Then I would check the hoses and tank.

Now sometimes ignition coil heats up and stops it takes awhile for that.

Not much to 1/2 crank 2 banger.
