This is an easy fix, one that any reasonably handy person can do themselves. The nylon cord that "weedwacker" string-line trimmers use is sold at hardware stores and is perfect for replacing the broken nylon part. With a small screwdriver, remove the screws holding both levers and take them off. Dig the remainder of the broken nylon bit out of the hole with a needle, then cut a suitable length of nylon cord. Put a drop of Crazy glue onto the end and insert into the hole, and reassemble . Works fine, no noises, stronger than the original machined part.
PS- be happy about the replacement mouthpiece- much better than the Buffet.
