My Homelite Trimmer (approx 8 yrs old) will not accelerate. It starts fairly easily and idles well. When the throttle is opened however it splutters and dies. Sometimes (rarely)I have been able to rev it but even then it is gutless. I have replaced the fuel filter and fuel lines. I have also blown compressed air through the "LOW and HIGH" jets. I have set the "High" adjustment screw at 1 and 1/4 turns from bottom. All diaphragms and gaskets appear to be in good condition. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks P.G

Hi we have a Homerlite Mighty Life 2 Stroke Petrol Strimmer, that seems to object to having oil in it, we are doing the mixture right, but if we put oil in with the petrol it will eventually start but won't keep running once it has but if you just put petrol in it does is this a fault on the strimmer and if so what do we do next?
