Description
Overview:
This Genuine Stihl clutch is a centrifugal drive unit for Stihl petrol chainsaws, engineered to engage the chain smoothly as engine speed rises and to freewheel at idle. Built with robust steel components for dependable service life, it transfers power efficiently from the crankshaft to the chain sprocket. It replaces worn or slipping clutches that cause poor take-up, chain creep, or overheating, helping restore cutting performance and reliability. Designed to match original specifications for accurate fit and operation, it suits professional forestry and grounds work as well as domestic tasks. Ideal for models such as the MS260 and MS270, it maintains correct engagement characteristics and consistent output under load. OEM Part Number: 1121 160 2051.
