Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl clutch assembly is a direct replacement for selected professional clearing saws, including the FS490 C and FS510 C. It is a centrifugal clutch built from durable, heat-treated steel components with robust return springs to provide consistent engagement as engine speed increases and full disengagement at idle. The assembly transfers power smoothly to the drive shaft, helping the machine cut efficiently while protecting the engine and gearbox from shock loads caused by sudden starts. Purpose-made for Stihl clearing saws, it fits correctly in the clutch housing and restores performance when the original clutch is worn, slipping, or dragging. Supplied to Stihl specifications with OEM reference 4148 160 2000 for easy identification and ordering.
