My Stihl 084AV has a broken chainbrake. I modded my muffler and the exhaust melted the brake handle enough to render it useless. There's enough left to manually actuate it, but it isn't going to stop as it should with inertia without the mass of the handle behind it. I know there is a glue out there which will work with this type of plastic, but I don't know what to use. I had thought about using some wire as a "brace" and putting a plastic-specific epoxy on top of it. I have posted a search in the swap meet forum as well; the handle isn't available from the dealer. Fixing it might be my only option.
