Description
Overview:
This Piston Stop/Locking Strip is a genuine Stihl service tool designed for safe maintenance on Stihl 2‐stroke chainsaws, including the MS200T and MS192. Made from a tough, non‐marring polymer in a high‐visibility orange finish, it is inserted into the cylinder via the spark plug hole to lock the piston, preventing crankshaft rotation while you remove or refit components. The strip provides a controlled, cushioned stop that helps protect the piston crown and cylinder from damage during clutch, flywheel, or drive sprocket work. Built to OEM standards (0000 893 5903), it offers a precise, repeatable hold and long service life for trade and DIY maintenance tasks on compatible Stihl models.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl part for assured compatibility and performance (OEM 0000 893 5903)
- Durable polymer construction provides a soft, non‐marring piston lock
- Fits through the spark plug hole for quick, tool‐free setup and removal
- Helps protect piston and ports compared with rigid metal stops or improvised methods
- Reliable hold for clutch, flywheel, and sprocket servicing on supported models
- Bright orange colour for easy identification in the toolbox or on site
- Reusable and lightweight, suitable for routine maintenance and workshop use
- Stable lock makes loosening left‐hand clutch threads and torquing fasteners more controlled
- Designed for Stihl 2‐stroke engines used in compact and mid‐range chainsaws
- Suitable for professional technicians and DIY users seeking a safe, repeatable procedure
Typical Applications:
Used to immobilise the piston during tasks such as removing or installing clutches, flywheels, and drive sprockets; changing clutch drums and needle bearings; torquing crankshaft nuts; and other procedures where the crank must not rotate. Ideal for routine servicing, on‐site repairs, or workshop overhauls of compatible Stihl chainsaws.
