Description
Overview:
This Air Filter Base is a genuine Stihl component for the MS462 and MS462C-M petrol chainsaws. Made from tough, moulded polymer in a compact, low-profile form, it supports and locates the air filter while providing a secure sealing face to the intake, helping prevent dust and debris from entering the engine. As the mounting platform within the airbox, it keeps the filter correctly aligned for reliable airflow and consistent performance. Supplied to OEM specification under part number 1142 141 0900, it is a direct replacement that restores factory fit and function. Designed for professional forestry, arborist, and heavy domestic use, it is a practical service part to maintain power, throttle response, and engine life in demanding conditions.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl OEM part (1142 141 0900) for assured compatibility and fit
- Durable moulded polymer resists vibration, impacts, heat, and fuel mist
- Supports and secures the air filter to maintain clean intake air
- Accurate sealing surfaces help reduce dust bypass and wear
- Direct replacement with no modification required on listed models
- Works with the standard MS462-series air filter assemblies
- Smooth mating faces for repeatable refits during routine servicing
- Helps preserve engine power, efficiency, and starting reliability
- Suitable for intensive professional use and regular DIY maintenance
Typical Applications:
Used when the original base is cracked, warped, worn, or fails to hold a reliable seal after heavy use. Ideal during an airbox refresh, when fitting a new filter, or as preventative maintenance to protect the cylinder and piston from abrasive dust. Common in forestry, tree surgery, construction site work, and firewood processing where chainsaws operate in dusty environments.
Also known as:
Air filter holder, air filter support, air filter base plate, air filter mount, airbox base, filter carrier. These terms all refer to the same component that positions the filter and maintains the sealing interface to the intake on Stihl MS462-series chainsaws.
