The line on my new 26cc Homelite would also feed out by itself. That started me thinking the line was wound backwards. I wrapped the line in the opposite direction as was shown on the bump feed reel and now the dang thing works although the bump feed needs to be "bumped" pretty hard to work. Is it possible that the reel was manufactured with the (string direction) arrows pointing the wrong direction? The new 26cc unit is also underpowered compared to my older 25cc trimmer.
String is installed wrong and sounds like way too long of string thread the string in the opposite direction.

Sounds like the carburetor needs a cleaning and rebuild. Make sure that you replace the diaphrams also while there.
I hope this is helpful for you.
