Description
Overview:
This contact spring is a small metal electrical component for Stihl petrol chainsaws. It maintains a reliable electrical connection within the control/ignition circuit so the saw starts, runs, and stops as intended. Manufactured to match the original specification, it is a direct replacement for worn or damaged springs and helps prevent intermittent faults caused by poor contact pressure. Suitable for mid-range Stihl models, including the MS261 and MS271, it fits neatly into the existing housing without modification. The spring's resilient metal construction provides consistent tension and long service life under vibration and frequent use, making it a practical maintenance part for workshop servicing or on-site repairs. Part reference: 1141 442 1620.
Key Features:
- Direct-fit replacement for the original contact spring on compatible Stihl chainsaws
- Resilient metal spring design maintains stable contact pressure for dependable operation
- Helps resolve intermittent starting, stopping, or cut-out issues linked to poor electrical contact
- Durable construction suitable for regular use and engine vibration
- Compact form factor for easy handling and straightforward installation with basic tools
- Made to OEM-style dimensions for a secure fit in the existing switch/ignition assembly

Typical Applications:
Used during servicing or repair of the chainsaw's control or ignition contact points. Replace when the original spring is bent, fatigued, corroded, or failing to maintain firm electrical contact. Common in fault-finding for non-start, poor stop-switch response, or intermittent running on compatible Stihl chainsaws.
