Homelite gas trimmer runs but need half choke and throttle, it will not run without choke, or idle.
Mine does the exact same thing and has since it was new so with mine it has nothing to do with the carb at all (I did end up taking it apart and it was clean as could be)........Home Lite just makes cheap, junky machines.

You need to disassemble the carb. and spray with carb. cleaner. If you need tips on how to do this, just let me know. You may need a new carb. kit as well, but we won't know that until you first perform the first step, or if the carb. parts are more than 3 years old. If they are, then go ahead and buy the carb. kit and replace the parts.

Yes, did make any difference.
my homelite trimmer runs on half choke but when i switch to run or normal it shuts down?
Me too, except once it warms up it shuts down completely. From a cold start it only last about 30 sec.
