Description
Overview:
This Compression Spring is a Genuine Stihl part designed to maintain correct tension in control and linkage mechanisms on selected Stihl machines. Made from durable spring steel for consistent performance, it helps return levers and components to their neutral position and supports smooth, reliable operation. Identified by Manufacturer Part Number 0000 997 0715, it is suitable for use on popular Stihl tools, including the 012 and 010 chainsaws, as well as various FS-series brushcutters and trimmers and the FC 44 edger. If a spring has weakened, become distorted, or broken, replacing it with this OEM component restores positive action and helps keep the machine safe and responsive during regular use.
