I have an electric homelite weedeater. The string keeps advancing. Not good. How do I lock it in?

My weedeater will crank up and run on full choke. However, when I move it to half choke or idle it dies.

NEVER run a 2 cycle engine without mixed oil/gas. Are you out of your mind? A few minutes and you will have a scored cylinder if your lucky and if not a locked up engine. BAD ADVICE!!!!!!!!

Trimmer model UT20046, Starts fine, stalls when you accelerate.

Is the primer bulb filling with gas. If not it may not be getting gas through the carb and requires a carb kit and cleaning. This should be done only by a repair man. If it's filling with gas, prime it at least 7 times, choke it on A (not C) it will pop and may start then go to B, prime it 2 more times then it will run, run it for about a half minute then go to C. Many people think C is choke. It IS NOT. A-B-C is the order of starting. On some it may be 1-2-3 which is the same order of starting.

Make sure you replaced the same type of spark plug. Then, try emptying the fuel and replace with 100% unleaded gas. Normal procedure to start. Run for a few minutes until white smoke is gone. Then replace with the correct oil / gas mixture.
