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.

Always verify your full STIHL model, rewind starter assembly, starter rope diameter, original part number, and parts diagram before ordering.
