I have a Honda GX25 powered line trimmer that after two uses would bog down and stall when throttle was applied.
I cleaned the Walbro type of carb and even straightened the fuel line into it as it may have been half squashed off due to the bend required to allow finger space to the primer bulb. It would idle but acted as if the main jet was partially blocked.
My fix was to use a length of wire with a hook bent in the end to fish the weighted end of the fuel line out of the filler hole. Dismantle and clean with carby cleaner.
I have learnt since that many of these line trimmers have this problem. I trust this may save people's hair from being torn out.
