Description
Overview:
The Rewind Starter (ErgoStart) is a genuine Stihl replacement assembly for restoring reliable pull-start operation on compatible brushcutters and related tools. Built with a tough polymer housing, a hardened steel rewind spring and a braided starter cord with T‐handle, it is designed to withstand regular use in garden and site conditions. The integrated ErgoStart assist spring reduces the pulling force needed to start the engine, helping minimise strain and improving consistency. This unit is engineered for a precise fit on machines in the 4144 series, including the Stihl FS 40 C and FS 50 C, and replaces OEM reference 4144 190 4013. It is suitable for both professional and domestic users who need dependable, repeatable starting performance from their Stihl equipment.
