Trigger keeps coming loose in handle

[steevo]

Homelite Super 2



Model UT10654



s/n HJ2221299





Trigger keeps coming loose from the throttle rod. As far as I can tell there aren't any worn plastic parts and the handle cover has all the protrusions to keep everything in place when the cover goes on.



There's a pretty large gap between the trigger and the small washer on the throttle rod. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.



Thanks in advance
