Description
Overview:
This Genuine Stihl flywheel (OEM No. 1140 400 1209) is a direct replacement component for Stihl MS 362 and MS 362 C chainsaws. It is a robust, die-cast aluminium alloy part with embedded magnets and cooling fins. The flywheel stabilises crankshaft speed between power strokes, triggers the ignition system, and helps move cooling air across the cylinder to manage engine temperature. Replacing a worn, cracked, or damaged flywheel restores smooth running, consistent spark timing, and reliable starting. Built to Stihl's specification, it offers an exact fit on the correct taper, ensuring proper alignment with the keyway and safe clamping under the flywheel nut. It is suitable for professional users and DIY owners who need dependable performance from their saw during demanding cutting work.
