Weedwacker Acting Funny

So I was using my craftsman weedwacker and it was running fine and then it started to sputter a bit. I assumed it was low on fuel so I filled it up. The occasion sputtering continued and then it died.

Here is the weird thing. I can start it up....I can rev it at a high RPM for as long as I want...but as soon as I get into the grass and it encounters the slightest amount of resistance (from the grass) it dies. I did notice that it sputtered under load.

What could cause this sudden change?

Thanks in advance.
