Description
Overview:
This Genuine Stihl muffler gasket is a direct-fit seal for the joint between the cylinder and silencer on selected Stihl petrol chainsaws, including MS231 and MS251. Manufactured from heat-resistant composite gasket material, it is designed to withstand high exhaust temperatures and vibration while maintaining a gas-tight seal. By preventing exhaust leaks at the muffler interface, it helps preserve engine efficiency, stable idle, and correct back pressure. It is the correct replacement for OEM No. 1143 149 0603 and is suitable for routine servicing or repair after removing the muffler. Built for reliability in professional and domestic use, it helps protect nearby components from hot gas blow-by and supports clean, consistent running in demanding cutting conditions.

Typical Applications:
