This choke rod is a genuine Stihl replacement linkage for MS 362 and MS 362 C petrol chainsaws. Crafted from durable formed metal, it connects the external choke control to the carburettor, regulating air intake during cold starts and restarts. Proper choke operation ensures the correct air-fuel mixture, allowing the saw to start quickly and maintain a stable idle. Replacing a bent, worn, or missing rod restores reliable and consistent choke engagement for optimal engine performance.
