Question:
For more than 2 months OOPE and I have been trying to get the correct grip for my Husqvarna brush cutter. The throttle grip has a slot for a wheel near the top left. Each of the 3 handle grips Husqvarna sent does not have the slot for the wheel to adjust the idle, throttle, etc.
This is a Husqvarna 326 with the handle bar for brush cutting.
I paid $800 for this less than 2 years ago and now I have something I can't use. I have taken care of this and keep up the maintenance of greasing it and always used premium gas and good 2 stroke oil. I was hoping to get 10 years or more out of this unit instead of less than 2 years.
I would like for Husqvarna to send the correct throttle handle grip or to replace the brush cutter with another one in the $800 range like I paid for the original.

Details:
I have always bought Husqvarna products. I had a Husqvarna HF700 and replaced it with a 775. I have the 17" Husqvarna 900 rotor tiller and have owned several Husqvarna chainsaws.
This is the first big problem I have had with Husqvarna, but I am not getting any help at all from Husqvarna on this problem.
If Husqvarna has quit making this part, I think it only fair Husqvarna replace this brush cutter with another one of equal value.
Answer
The problem is that they superseded your control handle to one without the thumb wheel provision. They no longer make the old version left half. The only option currently is replace the complete control handle with PN 537183507. The cable and control wires are the same so they are just transferred to the new control handle.
This one other option and that you can try to find new old stock by searching for PNs 537160202 LH and 537160302 RH.
