Flymo Garden Vac Trigger Issue

[WabbitPoo]

Garden vac suddenly stopped working. Gray trigger does nothing. Checked fuse etc, then opened it up. I cant for the life of me see how the trigger is supposed to push the actual motor's push-button - it doesn't even line up with the button. There must be a part missing but I can't see what it might be. Can anyone advise?

The grey trigger piece can be purchased online but it LOOKS just like the one I have, so I dont think a piece has broken off that. The orange push-button doesn't appear to have anything broken off of it either. Confused.

Bit of a puzzler that one. What's in the other side you've removed?

Fixed.

For those that follow, the issue wasnt the blower as such but the collection bag. I hadnt realised the importance of having the bag properly seated having just emptied it: there's a piece of plastic on the bag frame that only enables the lever to reach the switch when the bag is properly fixed on- otherwise you'd be able to run the thing with the chopping blades and motor exposed. Obvious now - strange the thoughts that occur to you during the wee hours!
