Alright y'all, I'm new to the forums so I might be in the wrong area but anyways...

I have a 27cc Craftsman trimmer for the house and this thing has been working good for me for awhile and then all of sudden this **** happens like magic... The trimmer had originally not started at all due to a clogged carb. Since they are so cheap, I decided to buy one brand new online, the kit came with new fuel lines, primer bulb, gaskets, fuel filter and air filter, for $16!!! I slapped the new carb on along with a new spark plug and I also used Trufuel premix 40:1 in the tank. It started and idled rough, then I adjusted the Hi and Lo on the carb and got the idle smooth but I cannot for the life of me get it to run smooth at full throttle it just bogs down likes it's too lean or too rich, but no matter how much I play with the adjustments, the engine still does not rev to full throttle and just bogs and and stalls if I pull it too much. This carb is brand new it can't be dirty... What should I do? I dont want to buy a new trimmer, I know it work again, I just think I'm missing something

Did you pull the muffler and check the exhaust port for excessive carbon? Did you check the spark arrester?
Did you loosen the gas cap to see if the issue goes away?
I took off the gas cap and let it run with it of and same scenario, but where would the spark arrestor be? The kill switch? And no I haven't check the exhaust port so I will that a try. Thanks!
