Description
Overview:
This Recoil Starter Repair Kit is a Genuine Stihl part engineered for the Stihl TS400 disc cutter. It restores a worn or failed pull-start mechanism back to smooth, reliable operation. The kit combines robust materials suited to heavy site use: a wear‐resistant polymer rope rotor (pulley), high‐tensile spring steel recoil spring, braided starter rope, and metal pawl, clip, and washer. Designed to match original tolerances, it provides a precise fit and consistent performance on the TS400. Supplied as a complete set, it is ideal for preventative maintenance or a full refresh when the rope has frayed, the spring has lost tension, or engagement is inconsistent. Direct replacement for Stihl OEM reference 420 421 for assured compatibility and straightforward installation.

- Straightforward to fit with basic hand tools, helping minimise downtime
- Suitable for routine servicing or full overhaul of a tired starter assembly

Typical Applications:

Ideal when the starter rope is frayed, the spring no longer rewinds properly, or the pawl slips.
