Description
4237 190 0600 STIHL Rewind Spring – Genuine OEM Rewind Starter Part
The STIHL Rewind Spring (4237 190 0600) is a genuine OEM starter system component designed to restore proper recoil tension in STIHL rewind starter assemblies. This spring provides the force necessary to retract the starter rope smoothly after each pull, ensuring reliable engine starting.
Over time, rewind springs can weaken, break, or lose tension due to repeated use, improper rewinding, or internal wear. A damaged rewind spring may cause the starter rope to hang loose, retract slowly, or fail to rewind entirely. Replacing it with the correct OEM part restores proper starter function without replacing the complete starter assembly.
Manufactured to STIHL factory specifications, this genuine rewind spring ensures correct tension, smooth recoil operation, and long-term durability under professional operating conditions.
