4224 190 0306 STIHL Starter Cover with Rewind Starter – Genuine OEM Part
The STIHL Starter Cover with Rewind Starter (4224 190 0306) is a genuine OEM replacement starter assembly designed for use on the STIHL TS 700 cut-off saw equipped with a recoil (rewind) starting system.
This complete starter cover assembly houses the rewind mechanism responsible for engaging the engine during starting and automatically retracting the starter rope after each pull. Proper starter operation is essential for smooth engine starts, consistent recoil tension, and dependable jobsite performance.
Manufactured to STIHL factory specifications, this OEM starter cover ensures correct fitment, durability, and long-term reliability under heavy-duty cutting conditions.
Replacing a cracked, worn, or malfunctioning rewind starter assembly helps restore proper starting performance and prevents issues such as rope failure, weak recoil, or hard starting.
