Recoil Starter Assembly for Stihl MS290 / MS310 / MS390 – 1127 080 2108

Description

This Stihl MS290 recoil starter is an aftermarket pull-start assembly for compatible Stihl MS290, MS310 and MS390 petrol chainsaws. It replaces a damaged starter housing or a mechanism with a broken pulley, recoil spring, rope, handle or engine-engagement component.

The starter corresponds to current reference 1127 080 2108. In addition, this reference supersedes several earlier starter-assembly numbers used within the same chainsaw family.

Starter Assembly Details

A recoil starter assembly normally combines the housing and principal pull-start components into one replacement unit, including:

• Starter housing
• Starter pulley
• Recoil spring mechanism
• Starter rope
• Pull handle
• Engine-engagement components

Mounting screws and other external parts should not be assumed to be included unless visible in the listing photographs.

Installation Checks

Before fitting the replacement, inspect the starter cup, flywheel engagement components and surrounding covers. Furthermore, make sure the engine rotates normally. A seized engine or damaged starter cup can cause the new pulley or rope to fail prematurely.

Install the housing evenly and avoid overtightening the fasteners. Afterwards, pull the starter handle slowly several times. The mechanism should engage without slipping, while the rope should retract completely without rubbing against the housing.

Finally, start the chainsaw safely and confirm consistent starter operation. Browse additional chainsaw parts for compatible engine, fuel-system and drive components.
