Description
Overview:
This throttle rod is a genuine Stihl linkage for controlling engine speed on compatible chainsaws. It is a formed steel rod that connects the trigger/throttle lever to the carburettor, transmitting precise movement so the saw accelerates and returns to idle smoothly. Built for the demands of forestry and groundworks, it replaces worn, bent, or missing linkage to restore reliable throttle response. Designed specifically for Stihl 048 and 042AV models, it matches the original geometry for correct fit and operation. As a Genuine Part with OEM No. 1117 182 1500, it helps maintain the saw's performance, reduces sticking or inconsistent revs, and supports safe, predictable control during cutting tasks.
Key Features:
- Genuine Stihl part for assured compatibility and reliability on listed models
- OEM reference 1117 182 1500 for accurate identification and ordering
- Formed steel construction for strength, wear resistance, and long service life
- Correct bends and end profiles for smooth, friction-free throttle movement

Typical Applications:
Replacement throttle linkage on Stihl chainsaws used for felling, snedding, logging, firewood processing, and general site work. Ideal when the saw shows poor throttle response, sticking, or inconsistent idle due to a damaged or missing rod, ensuring the carburettor opens and closes as intended.
