Try turning the choke off after it tries to start. This is a first for me. I have never ever heard of any type of yard implement, chain saw, mower, weed trimmer, etc that came brand new with fuel( gas mixture) in it or in the package. The fuel mixture for this trimmer I beleive is 50:1. Is that correct? This means that for one gallon of gas, 2,56 ounces of two cycle oil is added to the gas.

My stihl whipper snipper loses power and cuts out when i try to rev and apply throttle.

With 2 strokes I always start with 'AIR' 'FUEL' 'SPARK' from the sounds of it the choke might be stuck on (choking the motor ha ha) also check the air filter, You have fuel and its moving through but the fuel filter might be slightly clogged. As its starting and going on low your spark unit is ok but you might need a new spark plug.

I have a stihl 2 stroke petrol whipper snipper. It seems to have over heated at the reel end. I have smoke and grease spewing out at that end (metal neck at the reel end) have I fried it?

Sounds like you have a straight shaft trimmer version that have got bad bearing(s) that needs replacing. It probably will take the whole gearbox as a replacement item.

Cant start my brand new easystart stihl 50 whipper snipper kicks then dies it was already fueled when i bought it

Has it got a fuel bubble like button you need to push a few times to get the fuel flowing? Or is there a throttle lever near the starter that you move up slightly until the engine warms up then you decrease it?

Starts then dies - plastic carb

Sometimes, there is a waxy substance in the fuel tank and fuel lines that is put there by the manufacturer to prevent deterioration during storage. Machines may sit in a store for months / years before getting sold. I would get some fuel cleaner and flush the tank and fuel lines , then put some fresh fuel in the tank. I had to do this with a brand new whipper snipper. Had the same problem.

My fs 45 whipper snipper is starting but running

I have a Stihl FS 45 and have had problems with it running for a short time then cutting out. The problem is like to be either- the filter attached to end end of the fuel pick hose that goes down into the fuel tank is blocked or- there is a crackor split in the corrugated section of the fuel pick up hose between the fuel tank and the carburettor. If such a crack or split exists it will cause air to be sucked in with the fuel upsetting the fuel/air ratio. A new hose not adjustment is the only cure
