The trimmer will run just fine while the choke is on. But as soon as I squeeze the throttle control it quits running. It's got new gas in it.

You've done the troubleshooting steps for this problem. Try cleaning the carburetor first, if that doesn't solve the issue you may have to do a carb rebuild to fix the problem.
