Description
Overview:
This genuine Husqvarna throttle catch is a small control component for petrol machines that manages the throttle's lock/release position, helping the trigger return and idle correctly. Made from hard-wearing, moulded polymer in a black finish, it is built to handle vibration, cold starts and regular use. It is designed for Husqvarna chainsaws and selected cut-off saws, ensuring the correct fit and smooth action within the handle and trigger assembly. Ideal for restoring precise throttle control on older tools, it helps prevent unintended acceleration and supports safe, consistent operation. Suited to professionals and DIY users alike, it is a direct replacement for worn or broken parts on popular models such as the 268 and 61.
