I used it last summer once and I recently charged the battery overnight to full capacity and it would not start when I press the button.
Battery is probably dead... it may read fully charged but it cannot support the "load"... if you're only going to use something of that nature once. you really don't need it.

Part number #243614-00.
It's a microswitch made by Honeywell that costs about 5 bucks plus shipping.
The attached file has the schematic and parts list.
The CST2000 is well worth spending a few bucks to keep it going. Finding a local B&D authorized service center near you will even save you the shipping as they can order it for you.
Every other component is pretty dependable- the motor, battery, wiring, charging system, spool system- all built to last.
Only down side is you really only get 20 to 25 minutes of hard weedwhacking before you need to recharge. Of course, it's time for a cold beer in the pool by then.

Do a random Google search for your model and maybe even serial number and you will find what you are looking for.
