Check the impeller (on the side opposite the pull starter) to see if it is locked to the drive shaft (in the center of the impeller). The shaft could be spinning but, if the impeller is loose on the shaft, it can't spin fast enough to force as much air through the nozzle as it should.

hi just because you brought it 4 years ago does not mean it is four years old thats when you first used it the machine itself could be 6-7 years old anyhoo it sounds to me that when you stored your tool up last time may be for the winter there was still fuel left in the carburetor what happens is any fuel left in the carb will expand in cold weather and when it expands it stretches the diaphragm inside the carburetor hence as soon as you touch the throttle it will probably flood the engine making it hard to start i will need the full information on the make model engine size

Check the Hitachi web site where they will show you where to look.
