Accidentally ran straight gas in a trimmer engine.

This isn't a mower question but I've had such good luck getting help with my mower in the past here, I thought you would probably know what to do with another small engine.

I goofed up. I accidentally put straight gas in my Shindaiwa trimmer. It ran a few minutes then stopped and wouldn't start. That's when I realized what I had done. The piston has seized up (it wouldn't pull to start).

Is there anything I can do?
