I took my handle apart to fix the kill switch - What is the trick to get it back together? It seems I can not get it to push on all the way and it is bound up now.

Any tips or tricks?

Hi Fishon,
Try turning the knurled idle stop knob while you do it. Also, make sure the pins for the lock-in part are aligned with the holes in the base of the handle...

Okay got it -
My tip: put kill switch onto tiller handle first, then twist grip over it - catch threads on idle knob - push - and there you go - all set - thanks
