Homelite Weed Eater - Stops after 30 seconds

I have a 5 year old weed eater that starts normally after I prime the bulb, then quickly dies about 30 seconds later.

The only way to keep it from dying, is to prime the bulb ever 30 seconds or so. I've gotten pretty good at doing this, but it is still a beating. As long as I keep pressing the bulb and manually feeding it gas, it works like normal.

Any thoughts on what this could be? I don't see anything out of the ordinary with the fuel lines. I also have always used Stabil in the gas before I mix in the oil.
