I have a Homelite hedge trimmer model HHT-2660. The scissor action of my blades is not functioning and taking the drive box apart I find the centrifugally driven 'cup' has broken away from the spindle that turns the smaller of the 2 cogs. Can this be replaced?

Almost all are 2 stroke. If it has a place for oil togo into the motor-like a dipstick, it’s 4 stroke. If there’s no place for engine oil, you mix your petrol with 2stroke oil. Haven’t heard the term petrol in a while!
Dull blades! Lol, or they're not meeting eachother on each reciprocating stroke so there is no shearing action, much like a pair of scissors. Check to see if the blade bolts are too loose or is the blades are warped or if the cutting edges are simply too dull
After inquiring with Homelite's parts distributor, I have found out the Homelite does NOT offer any service repair parts for this model. A little bit of research tells me why. Home Depot retails this unit for less than $30 here in the USA. To compare, replacement blades for a similar product made by Poulan/Weedeater sell for $26 plus shipping. My guess is that Homelite considers this a disposable unit.
If it was working well for you, go buy another one. For $30, you can't go wrong.
Not for me to be a know all,but it is so important to clean and spray oil on these blades every time after use,but to new blades,who did you buy it from? the store EG Focus,Homebase,or others will all have a listed supplier,for spares repairs,but check out the price first,also check out the lowest price for a new one,rgds
Had the same problem: when I turn on the trimmer, the motor would hum but the blades won't move. What I did: 1. Sprayed a ton of wd40 between the blades 2. Took a screwdriver and kinda wedged it between the blades to get them unstuck. Also removed some guck between the blades. And it worked!
Good Day, mate. The best I can see is contacting homelite at www.homelitepower.co.uk. They have contact information on this page, however they do not show IPL(ilustrated parts list) and I am not sure the same information would be relavent to units here in the states. HTH
