My trimmer all of the sudden sputtered out while I was using it. Couldn't get it to start after that.
It would run with the choke fully open for a bit but wouldn't stay running.
Here's what I've done to try and resolve the situation.
Replaced spark plug
replaced air filter
replaced fuel filter
drained gas and replaced with a premixed 50:1 fuel/oil.
The previous gas was kind of green. I put some gas water remover in the old batch but that didn't seem to help. Hence the new gas.
Is this a scarred piston? carburetor replacement?
Thoughts?

Running some on choke points to fuel delivery problem. Can check with a spray bottle of 2 cycle fuel (don't use starting fluid - no lube). Get it running and keep spraying fuel into carb throat. It you can keep running 15 secs or more, I'd disassemble, clean and replace diapraphms in carb. Or buy a new one.
