Weed eater repair/problems

[BLACK6PACK]

I have a ryobi weedeater that is giving me fits. It worked fine one week and the next week it didn't. It will fire up and idle right, but as soon as I give it gas, it dies. I've changed the plug, put in new gas, installed new fuel lines, taken out the spark arrester cleaned it and reinstalled, taken the carb completely apart (as far as you can take one of those carbs apart) and put it back together. It still does the same thing. Fires up, but wont run when given gas. Any ideas?

Might be out there but I'll tell you what mine did. Ran great with no issues but slowly lost power.

Took the muffler off and bingo, all fixed. I was running it too rich and it slowly plugged the muffler.

Try that.
