    So..went to cut some more oak the other day, and my Husky 359 choke lever was disconnected. I can see the little connector on the lever, but not sure how to re-connect, or what to dis-assemble to get at it, Normally I'm pretty handy, but don't want to get in over my head. Checked You Tube, but nothing close enough. Any help would be great...thanks! (BTW- not online during the day, so sometimes takes me a while to respond)

    These just push back in.

    Pop the air filter cover and use a small flat screwdriver to just line it up and push it in.

    Not the best design, happens a lot.

    What cnice said, just push it back in with a screw driver. I've replace the leaver on a couple older saws and it fixed the problem. You can also heat the end of the leaver and spread out the two protrusions for a tighter fit.
