Makita Strimmer Won't Start - Carburetor changed

Question
spunko 28,372
I have a Makita petrol strimmer, it's only 3 years old or so.
It starts up fine, and idles over. But as soon as I start to exert any pressure on the trigger, even before it gets to 50% power, it immediately cuts out.
I consulted Google and apparently it could be the carburetor, so I followed this video to the tee, tried cleaning out the carburetor but it still has the same issue. Does anyone know what else it might be - I don't want to take it in to the local rip off repair bloke if I can help it.
Interesting fact I learned: Americans call strimmers 'weed whackers'. Twats.
