Description
Overview:
This Short Circuit Wire is a genuine Stihl replacement designed for small petrol chainsaws including the 017 and 018 series. It is an insulated electrical lead with pre-terminated connectors that links the stop switch to the ignition module, safely shorting the ignition to earth when the engine is switched off. Built to OEM specification, it helps maintain reliable starting, smooth running, and safe shutdown of your machine. The durable construction and quality terminals are suited to the vibration and outdoor conditions typical of chainsaw use. A direct-fit solution for common models such as the MS 170 and MS 180, it replaces damaged or corroded wiring to restore proper electrical integrity without modification.
