If the fuel lines, spark arrestor, sparkplug and carb check out OK, (as mine did) and if it will rev up with the choke partially on, here's the fix:
There is a small plastic plug pressed into a slightly larger brass plug located in the body of the carburetor, surrounded mostly by the white plastic primer housing (between the fuel in and out hose connections). Pry out the plastic plug with a pick and you will find the high-speed adjustment needle. You'll have to back it out a bit to richen the mixture. Using a tiny screwdriver, start the engine and find the point where the engine runs at maximum speed (don't leave it here as you could run the risk of running the engine a bit on the lean side, causing premature cylinder wear). Then, back out the screw a bit more until the engine speed starts to drop a bit. Try revving the engine a few times with the throttle trigger and if it's nice and responsive, you're all set.
I tell you the thing to put your money on is your muffler itself. If you are able to keep it going bogging down or not do you notice excessive heat coming from your muffler and exhaust port. Perhaps you can see an orange glow coming from your muffler has it become unusually discolored. Let it cool down and remove the screen cover and External screen. Start the blower again can you see that glow growing and becoming brighter. If yes remove your muffler.Start your engine do you still have the bogging action as before if so make sure you return the jet set screws back to there preset positions if anyone has changed them.DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE WITHOUT THE MUFFLER... just let it run long enough to see if the problem persists. If there is a positive change without the muffler look inside the engine side of the muffler. Is there an apparent blockage s there a blockage there? Look inside the exhaust port of the engine is there an apparent blockage there. What you are looking for is a carbon build up in both case. Anything that restricts the flow at all could be your culprit. If nothing is apparently restricting the flow of exhaust and you have followed these steps not skipping any then it's time to order that high dollar muffler.O7OUT

I have a gt-200r weedeater and it bogged when accelerated and it was the black accelerator throttle control cracked inside the carb. replaced and runs find.
Go read my post on my Echo Blower BPL251..They have the same little vent can on there othe small engine tools.If u cnt see the can go to there site and download the parts break down for the thing ..Look for the tenk vent can
Echo carbs have a little black plastic plug covering the High speed adj screw..CA air pulotion control bs..So get that little black blug out and give the screw a little turn open and u should be good to go..It worked for me..on a PBL 251 blower..My Echo weed wacker has the carb also..Go to Echos site and download the parts break down for your unit and look at the carb page..You will see the plug and HS,screw..happing wacking and blowing

1) Check the fuel filter and fuel lines.
2) Make sure there is no carbon build up in the exhaust port and the spark arrestor screen.
My echo SRM215 had the same problem so I tried one of the suggestions to clean the spark arrestor screen thoroughly including using a metal brush on it. Be sure not to damage it. And it worked perfectly once reinstalled! no more bogging down or stalling out.

Is it possible to clean the spark arrestor screen or do I need to replace it?
i soaked it in gasoline and then scrubbed it gently with a metal brush. seemed to work fine. Brushing was necessary though.
Try adjusting the low or hi screws in the carburetor
