• Starter drum for STIHL MS170 / MS180 chainsaw + spring + pawls

  • The STIHL MS170 starter drum kit is intended for repairing the standard manual starter mechanism. This new non-original Winzor kit consists of the starter drum, starter pawls and the spring that controls them.

    When the starter rope is pulled, the drum begins to rotate and the pawls engage with the engine's starter coupling. This action turns the crankshaft and allows the engine to be started. A worn drum, damaged pawls or a deformed spring can cause slipping. In such cases the starter rope pulls, but the mechanism does not reliably turn the engine.

    STIHL MS170 starter drum compatibility

    The kit fits standard starters used in the following chainsaws:

    STIHL 017
    STIHL 018
    STIHL 021
    STIHL 023
    STIHL 025
    STIHL MS170
    STIHL MS180
    STIHL MS210
    STIHL MS230
    STIHL MS250

    The kit matches the standard starter design that uses the 1123 195 0400 drum. ErgoStart and Easy2Start starter designs differ, so before ordering compare the old drum and the mechanism layout.

    Installation recommendations

    Before installation, clean the starter housing. Remove frayed rope fibers, dust and broken plastic fragments. Also check the starter rope, the return spring and the engine starter coupling.

    Install the drum and pawls in their working positions. The spring must control the pawls' movement and must not obstruct the drum from turning freely. After assembling the mechanism, pull the starter handle slowly several times. The drum should rotate smoothly, the pawls should engage reliably, and the rope should return freely.
