Its a new trimmer and only used 5 times no problem till now.
It sounds like the carb needs adjusted. Things can even happen to new weed eaters.
SOURCE: After rebuild only runs on half choke.Adjusting screw doesn't help
The rebuild you did is correct, but did you clean the small ports in the carb.? I use a Den Tek Brush (used for cleaning teeth). They work great for this job. You may also want to check the small screen in the carb. The smallest of particles can cause this problem.

The gas cap may be clogged.
The
next time you run the trimmer and it starts to die, loosen the gas
cap. If it starts running again, then you know that it's a clogged gas
cap.
You may also check the air breather, it may be dirty as well.
Just let me know if you need further assistance.

SOURCE: The trimmer starts like a dream but only runs with choke on
sounds like the carb needs to be removed and cleaned. It the chunk of metal that has the fuel line going to it on top of the engine.
Use a phillip screwdriver and possible a small ratchet to break it down and clean it thuroghly with gasoline.
After you get it back together and have cleaned it up as much as possible, crack her up with full choke again. this time though, allow it to run and barely ramp up the rpms enough to give it a little lug. When the engine seems to begin losing power, (these adjustments should be as small as possible until you get her running smooth) dial the choke back just enough to ramp up the rpms. This will probably take a few tries, but most definately should work in your case.
Once the trimmer is running smooth with the choke off you will be good to go.
Many times our trimmers and other 2cycle engines dont get the proper attention to keep them running up to par. Take the time to consider the unique properties of your tools to determine any possible future repair. Anytime you have and engine that burns a home mixed fuel there will be the risk of trash in the fuel system
GOOD LUCK AND PLS RATE THIS POST!!!! :D
SOURCE: weed eater starts but won't stay running
just bought a new Poulan 25cc 2cycle gas power weed eater . I can start it with the choke on but as soon as put on run it dies.
SOURCE: My weed eater featherlite fl20 dies when I give it
You mentioned you changed the filter. Air or fuel?
I had similar problems with my Echo and found it to be the fuel filter. With a wire clothes hanger hook the fuel lines in the fuel tank and gently pull them out of the opening. There should be a stone looking filter on the end of the line. Replace it. Can be purchased from your local lawn & garden center. Cheap too.
