Description
Overview:
This throttle cable is a direct replacement control line for Stihl brushcutters, designed to transmit smooth, precise throttle input from the trigger to the carburettor. Built around a flexible steel inner wire with a tough outer sheath and low‐friction liner, it resists kinks and wear in everyday use. It maintains accurate engine speed control for reliable starting, steady idle and full‐power running. Suitable for a range of light to mid‐range Stihl machines, including the FS55 and FS55C, it restores responsiveness when the original cable has stretched, frayed or seized. Supplied to match the Stihl reference 4140 180 1750, it features correctly formed end fittings for the lever and carburettor, helping ensure a straightforward swap with minimal adjustment once installed.
Key Features:
- Precise throttle response for smooth idle and full‐power operation
- Durable steel inner wire with abrasion‐resistant outer sheath
- Low‐friction liner to reduce drag and improve lever feel
- Correct length and end fittings to suit compatible Stihl models
- Helps prevent surging, poor pick‐up and unintended high revs
- Straightforward fitment as a like‐for‐like replacement
- Corrosion‐resistant materials for outdoor use
- Matches Stihl reference 4140 180 1750 for easy identification
Typical Applications:
Replacing a worn, stretched, kinked or broken throttle cable on compatible Stihl brushcutters and kombi engines used for grass trimming, edging, bramble clearance and light scrub work in gardens, estates, landscaping, grounds maintenance and agriculture. Ideal during routine servicing to restore safe, predictable engine control.
