Description
Overview:
The Tension Spring for Stihl MS240 and MS261 is a genuine Stihl part designed for use on a wide range of Stihl petrol chainsaws. Made from high‐quality spring steel, it maintains the correct tension within assemblies so controls and mechanisms operate smoothly. This small but critical component helps restore consistent performance when an original spring has stretched, fatigued, or failed. It is engineered to the correct specification for Stihl housings and linkages, ensuring a precise fit without modification. Suitable for professional and domestic users alike, it is an ideal maintenance replacement on saws such as the MS240 and MS261, helping keep your machine reliable during everyday cutting, pruning, and felling tasks.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl part for assured compatibility and fitment

Typical Applications:
Used during servicing or repair of Stihl chainsaws to replace worn or broken tension springs in assemblies that rely on controlled return or holding force. Commonly fitted when controls feel loose, fail to return properly, or after a full strip-down and rebuild. Suitable for routine maintenance in professional forestry, landscaping, and domestic cutting work.
