FAQs

Is this an OEM part?

No, this is a high-quality aftermarket replacement by WAR TEC that replaces OEM part number 1133 195 0400.

Will this fit a Stihl MS290?

No, this pulley is specifically designed for the MS270 and MS280 series chainsaws.

Do I need special tools to replace it?

Generally, a screwdriver and a socket set to remove the starter housing bolts are all that is required.

What should I do if the pulley sticks after installation?

Ensure the pulley is not overtightened and that the recoil spring is lubricated with a light coat of machine oil.

Does this come with a new starter rope?

This product listing is for the pulley only; the starter rope is sold separately.

Troubleshooting

Starter rope will not retract

Check if the spring has lost tension or if the pulley is jammed with wood debris.

Starter feels loose or 'slippy' when pulling

Ensure the pulley is properly seated and the pawls are making full contact with the flywheel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the starter pulley, remove the starter housing from your MS270 or MS280 chainsaw. Carefully remove the old rope, taking note of the tension in the recoil spring. Replace the old pulley with the new unit, ensuring the recoil spring hook is properly seated in the pulley slot.

Compatibility Note: This part is strictly compatible with Stihl MS270, MS270C, MS280, and MS280C models. Always verify your specific chainsaw serial number or model plate before purchase.

Care Tip: Periodically clean the starter housing of sawdust and resin buildup to prevent the pulley from binding, and inspect the starter rope for fraying to prevent the pulley from jamming.
