Stihl 015 av throttle lever trigger stuck

[Tomas Caballero]

Just got a freebie Stihl 015 AV with a stuck throttle lever/trigger. I took handle top molding off, removed handle to examine. The lever/trigger seems rusted in place and it gets stuck inside the handle? I imagine the linkage spring loads the trigger but there’s no spring that’s going to activate this trigger. Basically it gets stuck at full throttle. Is there a way to disassemble and remove the lever/trigger? Thanks. Tom

I’m an idiot. There’s a press pin holding the throttle lever/trigger. Started to push it out a little lube and clean up of the pin and ... fixed. Trigger works as it should. Regards, Tom

Ps. Qualifies as a you suck as it is pristine and free.
