Hi guys I have a victa tornado 2 stroke whipper snipper which isnt running right. Had it for over a yr and been great to use so far,so heres the problem. It starts perfectly,on cold or hot start, at idle fine.when i rev it,it just bogs and stalls or starts to struggle as soon as the head starts to spin and turn off. I have put a fresh batch of fuel with oil aswell,new spark plug and no difference. My last use had no sign of any issue and was working perfect. I dont know what to do next and was hoping to get some opinions or advice. Any help would be great.

Take the exhaust off and try it quickly ( it will be loud) I suspect either a blocked exhaust (easy fix) or a carby issue ( not as easy)
