STIHL 0000 190 3405 ElastoStart Starter Grip | Ø 3 mm OEM

STIHL 0000 190 3405 ElastoStart Starter Grip - OEM Ø 3 mm Starter Handle

The STIHL 0000 190 3405 ElastoStart Starter Grip is a genuine OEM STIHL shock-absorbing starter handle designed for select STIHL equipment using Ø 3 mm starter rope. This ElastoStart grip helps smooth out the sharp pull resistance that can occur when starting gas-powered outdoor power equipment.

STIHL ElastoStart uses a dampening design to help absorb load peaks during starter rope pull. This can make starting more comfortable by reducing the sudden jolt felt in the hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder.

Always verify your full STIHL model, starter assembly, 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 on larger trimmers, brushcutters, augers, pole pruners, and other gas-powered STIHL equipment where a standard starter grip can feel sharp, jerky, or difficult to pull.

When Should You Replace Your Starter Grip?

Replace the starter grip if the original handle is cracked, broken, missing, worn, loose, 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
