my dad did the same thing. every year I would clean the carb and filter getting it running good and the next year same thing needed to be done and he only used non-ethynol gas with fuel stabilizer yet it still gums up over winter.
he finally just gave up and bought a cordless battery one and a spare battery, with both of them charged he easily trims the whole yard and never has to fight with the damn thing to get it to run, plus its quiet and no gas or oil to mess with.
this is the one he bought

been using it for 4 years now trouble free and he trims a 100x140 ft yard with it and gets about 3/4 way through before needing to swap batteries in it. I think he said he gets 20 minutes continual full speed running time on one battery
as others say, its mostly old gas leaving varnish in the carb, but fine dust fills the foam air filter and it gets clogged solid sometimes on those things so don't overlook the foam filter.
