This Genuine Stihl rewind spring is the core of the pull-start mechanism on larger Stihl chainsaws, returning the starter rope smoothly after each pull. Made from high-quality steel and precision wound as a flat spiral, it stores and releases energy reliably to restore correct recoil action. It is purpose-built for Stihl professional models, including the 088 and MS880, and matches the original specification for fit and performance. Identified by OEM No. 1124 190 0605 (MPN 11241900605), it replaces tired, cracked, or broken springs that cause slow or incomplete rope return. Ideal for preventative maintenance or repair, this spring helps ensure consistent starting behaviour, reduces downtime, and protects the rest of the starter assembly from strain caused by a weak or failing recoil.
