STIHL 0000 190 3403 ElastoStart Starter Grip - OEM Ø 2.7 mm Starter Handle
The STIHL 0000 190 3403 ElastoStart Starter Grip is a genuine OEM STIHL shock-absorbing starter handle designed for select STIHL equipment using Ø 2.7 mm starter rope. This ElastoStart grip helps reduce the sharp jolt that can happen when pulling the starter rope on gas-powered equipment.
STIHL ElastoStart uses a dampening design to help absorb load peaks during starting. This can make pulling the starter rope smoother and more comfortable while helping reduce strain on your hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder.
Always verify your full STIHL model, rewind starter assembly, starter rope diameter, original part number, and parts diagram before ordering.

What Does STIHL ElastoStart Do?
STIHL ElastoStart is designed to reduce the sudden jolt that can happen when pulling the starter rope. The internal dampening effect helps absorb load peaks caused by engine compression, giving the operator a smoother and more comfortable starting motion.
This can be especially helpful when replacing a worn, cracked, missing, or uncomfortable standard starter handle on compatible STIHL equipment.
When Should You Replace Your Starter Grip?
Replace the starter grip if the original handle is cracked, broken, missing, loose, worn, uncomfortable to use, or no longer securing the starter rope properly.
- Broken or cracked starter handle
- Starter rope pulling through the handle
- Worn or uncomfortable grip
- Damaged ElastoStart dampening function
- Upgrading or retrofitting to an ElastoStart grip on compatible equipment
Why Choose a Genuine STIHL Starter Grip?
Genuine STIHL replacement parts are built to factory specifications for proper fit, durability, and performance. Using the correct OEM starter grip helps maintain safe, reliable starting and avoids fitment issues that can happen with incorrect starter handles.
- Factory-correct STIHL fit
- Designed for compatible STIHL rewind starter assemblies

- Helps maintain proper starter rope handling
- Supports smoother starting comfort with ElastoStart design
