STIHL Fan Housing Recoil Assembly - 4241 080 2107

Restores original engine cooling pathways and manual start functionality by replacing degraded airflow housings and failing pull-start mechanisms in STIHL portable saw platforms.

Key Features

• Direct OEM equivalent for STIHL 4241 080 2107, eliminating kickback lag caused by slackened recoil drums and cracked cooling vents.
• Dual-purpose design combines the flywheel fan shroud with the recoil starter bracket, maintaining proper distance between the muffler guard and operator position.
• Injection-molded thermoplastic alloy resists chemical degradation from fuel vapor exposure and absorbs vibration without developing stress fractures.
• Pre-assembled internal spool features heat-treated steel axle pins and matched return tension springs for consistent handle travel and controlled retraction.

Product Details

The STIHL Fan Housing Recoil Assembly 4241 080 2107 attaches to the front crankcase bearing housing and secures with standardized mounting bolts. The rearward-facing intake channel routes fresh air across the cylinder head and clutch assembly, stabilizing metal expansion coefficients during prolonged cutting cycles. The starter pawl system engages the ring gear splines at a 1:3.5 reduction ratio, transferring user input directly to the magnetic ignition module. Gasket sealing surfaces are machined to original flatness tolerances, preventing air leaks that cause lean fuel mixtures or hesitation at high RPM. Service access is achieved by removing the chain brake lever, clutch drum, and sparkplug wire, allowing bolt-for-bolt removal of the failed unit.
