When I pulled the handle to turn off the engine, it stayed in my hand. It is a simple replacement, but I could not find a source anywhere in Canada. I found it on SBO and Catalina Direct, but with shipping, taxes, and after the exchange it comes to about $60. I considered a proper thread insert, but a kit with a dozen inserts costs about $40. I am thinking that there should be a way to restore the threads in a cheaper way. I was wondering if anyone has a reasonable way to do that. I am thinking about spreading some grease on a bolt with the correct size thread, putting some epoxy into the hole, and threading the bolt into the handle. The idea is that the epoxy should attach to the handle and not to the greased bolt. The thread is 1/4 - 20. Am I completely out to lunch? Any ideas how to prepare he bolt, so that the epoxy won’t adhere to it? Alternatively, if one knows of a good source, I am all ears. A tractor dealer? Some other equipment that might use such a handle?
