Description
Overview:
This Rope Rotor is a genuine Stihl OEM component for the recoil starter on Stihl chainsaws, including the MS 170 and MS 170 C. It is the rotating drum that stores and rewinds the starter cord, restoring smooth and reliable pull-start performance. Manufactured from durable, wear‐resistant engineering plastic for long service life, it helps prevent snagging, sticking, or uneven rewind of the rope. Use it to replace a worn, cracked, or damaged rotor to keep the starting system consistent in daily use. Designed to match the original specification and geometry, it fits directly into the starter housing without modification, maintaining correct cord wind direction and tension. Ideal for routine maintenance or repair on popular homeowner and professional Stihl saws.

Typical Applications:
Replacement of the starter rope rotor on Stihl chainsaws used for garden maintenance, firewood cutting, light forestry, building site preparation, and general property upkeep. Ideal where the existing rotor is cracked, glazed, or no longer rewinds the cord properly, ensuring the saw starts dependably and is ready for routine and occasional tasks.
