Strikemaster broke on/off switch

Anyone had their starter handle snap back and break their on/off switch off?

At least its stuck in the on position so it'll start, but I have to choke it to kill it. Anyone know if I'll wreck something by doing that?

If you've had this happen, how much did it cost to repair?

Thanks for any insight!

Not sure how much it would cost. You could call D-rock in New Brighton. They deal them so they would know and could give you an estimate. They could let you know if it's hard on it to choke it. I don't think it would hurt it short term. But I would get it fixed sooner than later.

Talked with strikemaster ordered a new switch. They actually recommended pushing the compression button to stop the auger, not the off switch. problem solved...

Yep, I just leave my switch on always and stop the auger with the yellow compression button based on there recommendation.

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.
