I have a homelite trimmer that is gummed up. starts and idles but as soon as throttle is touched it kills. it doesnt look so simple tearing into the carb. any suggestions. its probably 4 years old?

Start with fresh gas and if that doesn't work you will have to tear into the carb. It isn't going to fix itself.
