Weedeater Featherlite XT25 stalls



I have a 3+ year old Weedeater Featherlite XT25 that will stall once
it is picked up and put into the "operating" position. That is, it
will sit on the ground and idle, rev, etc. with no problem, but within
30 to 90 seconds of picking it up to use it, it stalls, or, if it does
stay running, it will bog and stall out when I pull the trigger. I
cleaned and rebuilt the apparently disposable carburetor, removed the
spark arrestor, checked for carbon in the cylinder, replaced the spark
plug, and replaced gas with fresh, proper 40:1 mix.

If anyone can lead me in another direction, I would appreciate it. I
told myself $20 was the max for repairs on this mostly disposable
item, and I'm up to $16 now.
Have you tried to call their technical service. I had a starting/running
problem with my Ryobi, got a Tech that clued me in on several operating tips
that resolved the problem. He poo-pooed the manual instructions and he was
right on.
