Substitute part for Choke lever on 015??

[scut207]

So I was up in a tree and the choke lever fell out of my 015. I went to find a replacement on fleabay and apparently these things are more valuable than gold.

I found a 3d printer dwg, but dont have one.

its just a little D shaped shaft coming out the carb. I am wondering if I can get away with a BR600 or BR350 choke knob or any other knob, maybe a 190t choke knob? just wondering if anyone happen to have both that could test out, before I pull trigger on parts canon?

As long as it will clear, it may work.

Some small Solo saws (63something, I think) used the same carb with a similar lever, maybe you can find one of them for cheap. Then you have a spare carb as well.
Or maybe you can find somebody with a 3d printer? They're pretty common nowadays. As a last resort, there are online services that print stuff and ship it to you

If you can provide me with an .STL file of the part drawing I can try printing some in ASA material (similar to the ABS used for Legos as and example).

I make some other parts with the ASA and if the parts are printed correctly they are pretty durable.

The Solo 631 is one of them. I have one along with several 015s. The 631 uses a Walbro HDA carb versus a HDC in the 015, but it might still work (never tried). The choke levers are the same, but unfortunately not much cheaper if you can find one.

EDIT: I guess I haven't priced a genuine 015 choke lever recently. Wow.

Someone could make a killing printing those out of nylon

I had access to a BR600 and the shaft was not long enough. I ordered the FS200 Trimmer Choke knob for like $6 and I think it may work, let you know this weekend.
