By any chance, you don't have the cheap gas trimmer from Home Depot? I have the same problem with mine and have heard one other person with the exact same problem. If you let the line get too short, it seems to be either be snapping off or retracting into the spooler. Then when I try to start it, it spins out too much line which makes it impossible to start, so then the engine floods. This is the third trimmer I've owned, and the first time I've ever had these problems. I tried to buy the Gator attachment with the plastic blades, but the blades lasted all of five minutes. Now, I just tap the trimmer every minute to make sure the line never gets too short.
