    Probably not your problem at all but had similar trouble the other week. I completely forgot it needed 2 stroke mix and not just regular petrol like my mower.

    Looks like a problem with the centrifugal clutch.

    If its a multitool strimmer, check the attachment is pushed fully home where its joined to the main saft.

    The bevel gears can wear out (it can also move down the shaft) and the whole bevel box can be replaced cheaply enough if its a generic machine but as above clutch can get stuck. I've had all three issues in the past.

    Wake me up when it's all over.
