So did mine.  Top screw broke off flush on both sides.
 Class 8.8- that's bad.

That's it.  #3 straight slot, I believe.  A thin wave
washer is on the throttle shaft, between the switch
and the mounting plate.  BTW, the screw you broke is
an M4-.7 x 10mmm.  Lowes has them for $.58 for 2 in
socket head caps.  Class 12.9- that's real good.  Made
in Italy.
