Description
Overview:
This Inlet Control Lever is a genuine Stihl component (MPN 1121 121 5000) used inside the carburettor to regulate the metering of fuel into the engine's air stream. The precision metal lever sets the height of the metering needle, helping the engine start reliably, idle smoothly and deliver power under load. Built to OEM specification for consistent performance, it is suitable for a wide range of Stihl brushcutters and chainsaws, including FS240C and FS240RC. As a wear part within the carburettor, replacing a bent, worn or corroded lever restores correct fuel delivery and prevents issues such as flooding or hesitation. This is a Genuine Stihl Part designed for durability and correct fit in Stihl carburettors.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl part for assured compatibility and performance
- OEM-spec geometry for accurate metering needle control
