Second strimmer fixed, the one with the metal disc for thicker brush (and not leaving bits of plastic string everywhere).
Honda GX35 4-stroke. Shook out most of the pieces of the shattered cam pulley, then flushed out some smaller ones with old petrol.
Had to take the head and clutch cover off to find the timing mark on the flywheel. I don't remember doing that last time, I guess I just poked a screwdriver down the spark plug hole to find TDC, which works too.
The replacement pulley has not got that stupid automatic decompression lever that may have been the cause of the thing flying apart due to its weight.
Runs and starts very well again and got two more oil flushes to get clean (it uses a tiny amount).

Hmm, only changed this cam pulley last year. Guess the plastic wasn't the right sort. But then, neither was the original Honda one.
Now both strimmers are broken and waiting for small parts (the other just needs a fuel line, also due to material failure).
Send battery strimmers!
