On many Stihl string trimmers, look for the model number on a label along the shaft or on the main housing near the engine. The identification tag may also be under the handle or near the rear of the powerhead, so clean off dirt and check both sides before assuming it is missing. Once you have the complete model number, type it into our model number lookup and the catalog narrows to parts made for your unit. This filters the full Stihl string trimmer parts selection, not just starter parts, so you can match everything to the same equipment. Record the number exactly, including letters, numbers, and any suffix. That means fewer wrong orders and a faster repair.
