Hi Stu

The pin that my throttle trigger hinges on fell out in the woods. There’s no finding it.

Looks like maybe that part is discontinued? Any idea where I can find one? Or can I use a generic pin? What size?

Bare copper wire of desired gauge makes for an easy pin in a pinch.

Sorry for your loss...

I don't have a straight answer for you,  not knowing if it's a "Cotter Pin"  or a straight length of metal.

If the former,  your local Ace Hardware or big-box store will have it. 

If the latter,  maybe try a  piece of coat-hanger ground down to the right size,  tap it in with a small Hammer ? 

Will ask Famous Ray,  the chainsaw Pro,  when I see him next Tuesday.  He has all the parts catalogs and many sources.
