Stihl Parts

Stihl Chainsaw, Trimmer & Leaf Blower Parts

Stihl is the world's #1 selling outdoor power equipment brand — and Repair Clinic carries genuine OEM Stihl parts for chainsaws, string trimmers, leaf blowers, hedge trimmers, and edgers. Whether you own a MS250 chainsaw, FS55 trimmer, or BR600 backpack blower, we stock the hard-to-find parts that keep your equipment running strong.

Stihl equipment is dealer-exclusive when new, but replacement parts are available here at competitive prices. If your Stihl won't start, runs rough, or has lost power, one of these common failures is likely the culprit:

• Carburetor issues: Hard start, runs lean/rich, or won't idle; ethanol damage to float and needle is the most common cause
• Recoil starter problems: Pull cord stuck, won't recoil, or spring broken inside the housing
• Primer bulb cracks: Won't draw fuel into the carb; cracked or brittle plastic fails over time
• Fuel line deterioration: Cracked, clogged, or collapsed lines prevent fuel flow to the carburetor
• Spark plug fouling: Wet, carbon-fouled, or wrong-heat-range plug; seasonal maintenance prevents most issues

Enter your Stihl model number to find the exact OEM parts for your equipment — carburetors, ignition modules, fuel pumps, throttle cables, and more.

Stihl Parts FAQ

Why won't my Stihl chainsaw or trimmer start?

The most common cause is a clogged carburetor from stale fuel or ethanol damage. If your Stihl has sat for more than a few months, the carburetor float, needle, and jets are prone to varnish buildup. A carburetor rebuild kit or full replacement often fixes the hard-start issue. If the engine turns over but won't ignite, check the spark plug next — a fouled plug is the second-most common reason Stihl equipment won't fire. Always use fresh fuel with a 50:1 oil-to-gas mix for Stihl 2-stroke engines.

How do I find my Stihl model number?

Stihl model numbers are stamped or printed on a label near the engine block or fuel tank. For chainsaws, look on the side of the housing or under the air filter cover. For trimmers and blowers, check the shaft near the motor housing or on the fuel tank. Common Stihl models include MS250, MS290, MS310, FS55, FS90, FS131, BG55, and BR600. Once you have the model number, use Repair Clinic's lookup tool to see all compatible parts — carburetor, fuel lines, ignition coils, and more.

Are aftermarket Stihl parts compatible with OEM parts?

Stihl parts are engineered to precise specifications — ignition modules, carburetors, and fuel delivery systems are all model-specific. Aftermarket carburetors and fuel system parts often have poor fitment or cause lean-running conditions that damage the engine. For reliability and model-specific fit and performance, always use genuine OEM Stihl parts. Repair Clinic stocks the full range of OEM Stihl parts at prices competitive with dealer ordering.

What's the best way to prevent Stihl equipment from seizing up?

Use fresh fuel mixed to the correct 50:1 ratio (Stihl-approved 2-stroke oil). Before winter storage or after extended downtime, run the engine on a lean fuel mixture or drain the carburetor bowl to prevent ethanol varnish buildup. If your equipment has been sitting for months and won't start, a carburetor rebuild kit or fuel system cleaning is often all that's needed — don't condemn the whole unit without trying a $20 to $40 carburetor kit first.

Locating the Model Number on Your Stihl Chainsaw, Trimmer, or Leaf Blower

Stihl places the model number on a label near the engine block or fuel tank. On chainsaws, check the side of the powerhead housing or under the air filter cover. For string trimmers and leaf blowers, look on the shaft near the motor housing, the main housing, or the fuel tank. The model number identifies the complete piece of equipment, not just a single replacement part. Once you find it, type it into our model number lookup and the catalog narrows to parts made for your unit, including engine, fuel, ignition, chain, and trimmer parts. You will spend less time comparing specifications and more time making a confident repair.
