Strimmer broken

Might have some crud in the carby . Has it got a clear ball primer you
sqeeze before you start it.

Lots of 2 stroke strimmers and chainsaws have a filter inside the petrol tank which can get choked up through time and needs replacing. If you look inside the tank you may find a thin plastic tube which you hook the end out and the filter is attached to the end of it. I had a similar problem with my Stihl strimmer. I changed the filter and  every thing was working ok again.

is this conking out when you press the throttle?
if so, you need to tune the carb as it isn't getting the right amount of fuel.

have a look at the "sticky" at the top of this part of the forum....
I think shaun wrote a bit about it.
