Description
Overview:
This Starter Cover is a genuine Stihl component for the recoil starter assembly on selected brushcutters and kombi engines, including the FS91 and FS111. Built from durable, impact‐resistant polymer in Stihl orange, it shields the pull-start mechanism from dust, grass, and grit, helping to keep starting smooth and consistent. The cover forms the outer housing for the starter area and is shaped to fit the engine casing precisely, so alignment and refitting are straightforward. As an OEM part (No. 4180 190 0401), it matches the original specification for fit and finish, supporting reliable operation in daily use. It is a practical maintenance replacement when the existing housing is cracked, worn, or missing fasteners.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl part for correct fit, function, and durability
- Robust polymer housing resists knocks, vibration, and weather exposure
- Protects the recoil starter from debris to reduce premature wear
- Precise moulding ensures proper alignment with OEM mounting points
- Helps maintain easy, reliable pull starts in routine and heavy use
- Straightforward to replace with standard hand tools
- OEM No. 4180 190 0401 for clear cross‐reference and identification
- Suitable for professional and domestic maintenance schedules
Typical Applications:
Used to replace damaged or worn starter housings on Stihl brushcutters and kombi power units. Ideal for machines working in grass, brush, and dusty conditions where debris can enter the starter area. Helps preserve starter rope, pawls, and spring by keeping contaminants out, improving starting reliability on landscaping, grounds maintenance, and site clearance tasks.
