If the strimmer sounds a bit flat and quiet then it could be this.

Re: 343R husky strimmer problem
If its the exhaust blocked then its usually worth getting a new exhaust, they are not usually expensive, and its difficult to clean them out properly.
While the exhaust is off, have a look in the exhaust port too, they are sometimes blocked or semi blocked with carbon. If so, then put the piston on TDC and scrape the carbon deposits out. Use an awl, or small sharp screwdriver. Be careful not to touch the piston though, and blow out the port before lowering the piston. Excess carbon build up is normally down to the quality of the 2T oil and the ratio. Low smoke synthetic, or semi synthetics are best and keep the ratio to 50:1. Dont give it a 'dash' for safe measure. Also keep the engine revving, two strokes like to be revved. Hedecutters are particularly prone to carbon build up as the dont rev hard or continuously. Strimmers used on low revs, as well as on and off throttle suffer the same.
