Description
Overview:
This Choke Rod is a Genuine Stihl part for MS231 and MS251 series chainsaws (OEM No. 1143 185 1905). It links the external choke lever to the carburettor choke plate, allowing precise control of the air-fuel mix for reliable cold starts and stable warm-up. Made from durable OEM-grade material to withstand fuel, oil, vibration, and temperature changes, it helps maintain consistent starting performance and overall engine efficiency. Designed specifically for Stihl MS231 and MS251 platforms, it is suitable for everyday users, tradespeople, and professional arborists who need dependable operation from their saws. As a direct-fit component, it restores correct choke actuation when the original rod is worn, bent, or broken, supporting regular servicing and long-term reliability.
