    wont stay running

    I know its not a chain saw but I still need help. I have an Echo HC2000 hedge trimmer that I am having trouble getting to run. I cleaned the carb and put on new fuel lines. I can get it to start and run for a few minutes but it stalls and wont restart. Could it be a bad coil or the old plug (looks clean)?

    vapor lock was my first thought but I ruled it out when I couldn't restart after cracking the gas cap.

    Clean out the exhaust port and the muffler screen.
