How do i keep my strimmer running?

Hi I have a McCulloch Super MAC26 petrol strimmer. I purchased it as a non runner. I have now managed to get it started but it cuts out after about 4 seconds. Any ideas as to why it won't keep running?

Thanks when you say get the petrol mix right, are you referring to the oil mix 40:1 mix? I have tried knocking of the choke straight away and it still cuts out.

you need to get the petrol mix right, and knock the choke off after you start it,
