You could request a new switch and speak to someone at the company to send you some replacement parts. That is the right thing to do. You may be surprised and get what you need. If you get some customer service, you may have a more positive view. I have seen reviews go both ways on customer service. It's always worth a try. Businesses don't like poor reviews and they need complaints when things go wrong so that they can address and fix them.
I had the same results as you, the case came with peeling paint all over, but mostly inside the crankcase cavity, which would destroy the bearings if used like that, but worse was the cavity for the adjuster, it was machined incorrectly, way too large and squared ended instead of round for shaft…..in my case not even OEM Stihl parts worked….when I told Neotec customer service, they said to run it that way and not to worry……talk about great customer service….chinese stuff and companies have a long way to go, if ever, before they stop producing junk.
Nice job
