Overview:
The Av-Spring for Stihl MS271 and MS271 C is a genuine Stihl anti-vibration component designed to restore smooth running and comfort on mid-range chainsaws. Manufactured from hardened spring steel with a protective dark finish, it isolates engine vibration from the handles to reduce fatigue and improve control during cutting. This OEM part (1141 790 8304) is a direct-fit replacement within the saw's AV system and is sized at 64 mm (2.52 inches) in length for accurate fitment. The coil-and-hook form matches the original layout for secure seating in the mounts.
