I dont know what bump head you’re running but the spool inside is directional. That may be your issue.

If you strung it the wrong way, this could be your issue.

I also have this on one my old Echo trimmers. That old bird is over 20 years old and still cranks by the 3rd pull.

Like other have recommended, make sure your string is:

1) not wound on too tight
2) wound in the right direction
3) Spool isn't upside down
4) throw the bitch in the bushes and buy another head

I don’t want to insult your intelligence, but are you out of string?

Otherwise, take it apart and see what is going on…
