Description
Overview:
This Ignition Module is a genuine Stihl replacement part (OEM No. 4140 400 1314) for petrol-powered handheld machines, including brushcutters and strimmers. Built with a resin‐potted coil, copper windings and steel laminations in a tough polymer housing, it delivers a strong, reliable spark to the spark plug for consistent starting and smooth running. It is designed for Stihl models such as the FS38 and FS55 (for versions produced after 2001) and is also used across several related trimmers and combi engines. As a direct-fit module that mounts beside the flywheel, it restores correct ignition timing and performance when the original unit has failed due to age, heat, vibration, or moisture exposure. Genuine Stihl quality ensures proper fit and dependable service life.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl part for assured compatibility and performance (OEM 4140 400 1314)
- Resin-potted coil with steel laminations for durability and vibration resistance
- Provides consistent high-voltage output for easier cold and hot starts

- Suitable for Stihl brushcutters, trimmers, hedge cutters and Kombi engines listed
Typical Applications:
Restoring reliable starting and stable running on Stihl two‐stroke machines used for grass trimming, light brush cutting, edging and hedge maintenance.
