Strikemaster broke on/off switch

[braves57]

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.
