Default Broken EU2000i

I went to use it today and found the ecothrottle switch was broken off.

It started up and ran fine, but it now has the throttle permanently on. I
always use it that way anyhow, but the instructions say to start it with the
ET off.

How difficult would this be for me to replace? Or can it just be moved with
a screwdriver? I didn't want to mess with it for fear of making things
worse.


I had no clue what you were talking about -- a Google found the
following quote from a review--
My main complaint is that the Eco-Throttle switch broke after only
about 200 hours of use. I got a free warranty replacement but it
didn't last long either. I finally stuck an old switch I had laying
around in it and it is fine now.


It appears to be a weak point--I'd suggest doing as this person did and
simply replace it w/ any other suitable switch of adequate rating (which
doesn't appear would be much based on the style shown in the picture).

A standard toggle switch would work just fine it would appear...
