I picked up a YardKing 1697318, 24.5cc 134F 4stroke engine line trimmer(weed eater) $10 from the recycle yard, they always need fixing which I love to do. It should be good for the small area around the shed.
Obvious problems are plastic cam gear broken (looks to be not Nylon or POM), clutch worn & bearing seized. a bit poor for 2 year young machine.
It's imported by Victa / B&S Australia, sales are from a major hardware, there is no service info I can find for these but being a badged china product other brands have similar machines. The clutch seems to be generic, I ordered a 9T GX25 clone clutch/drum that looks like it will fit.
** My main issue is with the clutch, only half of the friction shoe contacts the drum, I will try some 8mm longer shoulder screws & spacers.
