Description
Overview:
This ignition module is a Genuine Stihl part for the HS 46 series hedge trimmers, engineered to generate and control the spark needed for reliable starting and smooth running. It replaces the previous OEM no. 4242 400 1303 and is supplied under OEM no. 4242 400 1304. The compact, potted coil assembly uses copper windings and a high‐temperature, impact‐resistant housing to cope with vibration and heat in small 2‐stroke petrol engines. Designed for Stihl HS 46 and HS 46 C‐E models, it maintains consistent ignition performance, helping your trimmer start readily, idle cleanly, and pull through thicker growth without misfire. Specified by Stihl for correct fit and function, it's a dependable choice for routine maintenance or a faulty-spark diagnosis.
