The Stihl Choke Rod is a genuine replacement linkage designed specifically for MS 362 and MS 362 C petrol chainsaws. Made from durable formed metal, this essential component connects the external choke control to the carburettor, effectively regulating air intake during cold starts and restarts. Ensuring proper choke operation is crucial for achieving the correct air-fuel mixture, which allows your chainsaw to start quickly and maintain a stable idle. By replacing a bent, worn, or missing choke rod, you can restore reliable and consistent choke engagement, optimizing your engine's performance.
