Description
Overview:
This Genuine Stihl cylinder (part no. 4241 020 1204) is a precision-machined metal barrel for the engine on selected Stihl handheld machines. It forms the combustion chamber where the piston runs, restoring correct compression and engine sealing when the original cylinder is worn, scored, or damaged. The finned body helps dissipate heat during prolonged use, supporting stable running and power. Designed for Stihl petrol 2‐stroke leaf blowers and shredder vacs, it provides the correct alignment of ports and mounting points for a straightforward replacement. It is an OEM component for a reliable fit and long service life on models such as the BG 56 and SH 86, helping keep your machine starting well and performing as intended.
