Bill it sounds like you havn\'t put the carb back together properly. The gaskets need to be done correctly for the engine to suck fuel through. It runs due to limited amount of fuel getting through.

Enter a 6mm pin throught the top of the gearbob ( there is a hole in the housing to take it ) turn the trimmer head so asthe pin enters the driver flange below and locks it, now grab the complete trimmer head and turn clockwise ( left hand thread ) the trimmer head will unscrew from the output shaft and come away.

Make sure fuel is mixed correctly, make sure the choke isnt stuck on aswel, ive had it happen to me before when the little blue leaver sticks and it wont rev out properly.

Is the choke leaver stuck open.? Check fuel lines, carb settings and possibly clean and service carb. Possible fuel starvation

It could be the fuel filter or the fuel cap retaining clip.

Possibly a slight over fueling problem. back off the H tuning screw slightly.

Sounds like you have a bearing failure, eithe big end or crank shaft bearing. When they go they quite often knacker the piston and cylinder too as it can put them off square. Remove cylinder and the problem will be easy to locate as you can see the big/small end bearings and check for cylinder damage. Often the cost of repair far outweighs the value of the equipment.

Sounds like a problem with the recoil spring, remove the pull start assembly and check the spring. (be carefull, they have a tendency to jump out in your face)

check flex shaft,inner part of the larger housing,be sure the end is not damaged.....also check flex shaft end from the engine side,may have damged coupler

remove recoil starter ,three screws hold the cover on,two from the top and one on the bottom.check for broken recoil spring or jamed pulley.

The 125LD had a T25 bump feed trimmer head, depress with finger and thumb the tabs either side of the head, the base will then pull away with the white centre spool, take a lenght of 2mm cord, bend in the middle so as you have two equal lengths, hook the bent end into the cut a way in the spool and wind both lengths in the same direction as indicated on the spool, once you have enough cord on the spool secure the ends in the slots on the outer edge of the spool to stop it all un raviling, place the spool back into the spool housing, carefully place the cord through the metal eyelets, push the assembly back into the upper housing clicking it back into position.

try giveing it about a quarter choke untill it warms up.
