Description
Overview:
This choke rod is a metal control link for Stihl petrol chainsaws, used to operate the choke plate for reliable cold starting and smooth warm-up. It transfers movement from the external control to the carburettor, regulating air intake during start and idle. Built from durable metal to withstand vibration and heat, it is a direct-fit replacement matching Stihl geometry for correct travel and feel. Suitable for professional and domestic users, it helps restore consistent starting when the original rod is bent, worn, or misplaced. Compatible with popular models such as MS311 and MS391, and supplied to the Stihl reference 1140 185 1901 family. Simple to install during a routine service or carburettor overhaul with basic hand tools.
