How can I fix my Weed Eater Feather-lite gas blower (FL1500I)?

Why does my Weed Eater Feather-Lite gas blower start and run perfectly for about 5-7 minutes and then it dies as if the switch had been cut off. FL1500I?
What is the problem?

I am not sure,I am having the same problem.I know earlier this summer the carb was loose,and while taken it off the two other scres behind it were loose also.But it was still working okay,untill a week ago.So i drained the gas and put new gas and a new spark plug in it and it still cuts off after 4-5 miniutes.
