Along with what BGS said check the intake mounting adapter screws and gasket. Also make sure you didn't lose the low speed mixture screw completely out the carburetor.
Note: There are 6 type versions of this trimmer. In case you don't know the last digit of the serial number is your type number. Example serial XXXXXXXXXXXX-2.
There was the WT-226 and WT-631; either was used.

I found the throttle vane had too much air bleed. I soldered up one of the holes and the trimmer slowed to a point that I am now able to adjust the idle speed. Still could stand for the other hole to closed up some but I leaving where it is at currently.
Just something I seen today here.
