I am assuming that it was working when you stopped using it and I am also assuming that you stored it without running it dry. More than likely ththe gasoline evaporated in the carburetor and plugged it. There are very small holes in the carburetor that mix fuel with air which results in combustion but if those holes are plugged it won't start. If you take it to a repair shop they will want to replace the carburetor. If you are able to disassemble the weed wacker and remove the carburetor, I have had success in soaking/submerging it in fuel line/injector cleaner, it can be purchased at an auto store. Do not remove the small adjustment screws in the carburetor. If you do not want to disassemble it, you can try emptying the gas out of the tank and replace the gas with the fuel line/injector cleaner. Pull the starter several times to move the cleaner into the carburetor, let it sit over night, repeat again a few times. then put gasoline in the tank and try to start. Its worth doing over and over to clean out the residue. If that fails you can get a new carburetor online from Sears and simply replace it.
