Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl throttle cable (OEM 4237 180 1102) is a factory-spec replacement for petrol hedge trimmers in the HS 81 and HS 86 series, including the HS81R and HS81RC. It uses a braided steel inner wire running inside a low-friction, polymer-lined outer sheath, with corrosion‐resistant metal end fittings for durability in outdoor use. The cable links the throttle trigger to the carburettor throttle lever, giving precise, reliable control of engine speed from idle to full power. Built to Stihl's specification, it follows the original routing on the machine for an accurate fit, helping to maintain smooth operation, safe control and consistent cutting performance. Suitable for professional landscapers and DIY users who want dependable throttle response and long service life.
