Description
Overview:
This Filter Housing is a genuine Stihl part designed to protect and seal the air filter on compatible handheld machines. Made from tough, moulded black plastic, it shields the filter from dust and debris while maintaining the correct airflow path to the carburettor. This helps the engine start reliably and run smoothly. It is engineered for a precise OEM fit on Stihl trimmers and brushcutters, including KM55 and KM55C, and other models in the same family. Supplied to Stihl specification under MPN 4140 140 2850, it is an ideal replacement if your original housing is cracked, warped, missing clips, or no longer holding the filter securely. A correct, leak-free housing is essential for effective filtration and engine longevity.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl OEM part for assured compatibility and performance (MPN: 4140 140 2850)
- Durable, impact-resistant plastic construction suited to outdoor use
- Precision fit restores the correct air seal and airflow to the filter and carburettor
- Helps protect the engine from abrasive dust ingress, supporting longer service life
- Designed for Stihl trimmers, brushcutters, edgers, hedge trimmers, and KombiEngine units in the 4140 series
- Straightforward installation with factory-aligned mounting points
- Reliable under vibration and frequent stop/start use common in landscaping work
- Direct replacement for damaged, loose, or missing filter housings
- Supports easier starting and consistent running when used with a clean, correct filter
- OEM-grade finish and geometry for a tidy fit with adjacent covers and shrouds
Typical Applications:
Replacing a broken or worn air filter housing on Stihl handheld machines used for grass trimming, brushcutting, edging, and light hedge maintenance.
