  If your Echo Trimmer engine runs but dies or accelerates poorly, several factors could be at play. Start by checking the air and fuel filters; if dirty, clean or replace them. Also, ensure the fuel vent isn't plugged—clean it if it is. Inspect the spark plug; clean, adjust, or replace it as needed. The carburetor may need adjustment. Lastly, check for blockages in the cooling system and exhaust port/silencer, cleaning them if necessary.
