Chainsaw control rod kit, ABS and metal

When a chainsaw’s throttle or choke controls need replacement, a kit that groups the related rods, switch shaft and spring can make it easier to source the parts together. This replacement set is listed for STIHL MS180, MS170, 018 and 017 saws, and is made from ABS and metal. It includes a switch shaft, choke rod, throttle rod and contact spring. Check the model and part numbers against your saw before ordering, the product description does not provide installation steps or further fitment details.

Quick overview

This is a small control-part kit, not a general chainsaw repair set. Its listed contents address several connected controls: one switch shaft, one choke rod, one throttle rod and one contact spring. The parts are described as replacements for OEM numbers 1130 182 0900, 1130 185 2000, 1130 182 1500 and 1130 442 1602. Those references can help narrow down fit, but they are not a substitute for checking the exact parts fitted to your saw.

The ABS-and-metal construction is presented as sturdy and wear-resistant, although there are no material breakdowns or durability test details to compare. Keep in mind that the listing names specific saw models but does not explain model-year or version differences, so confirm the match before starting a repair.

Best use cases

This kit may suit someone replacing worn, damaged or missing throttle and choke linkage parts on a compatible saw, especially when several pieces need attention at once. For example, if a repair involves the throttle rod and choke rod together, having the switch shaft and contact spring in the same package may save you from sourcing each listed component separately.

It is a more targeted purchase than a broad repair kit: useful when these particular controls are the issue, but not a solution for unrelated engine, cutting or starting problems. Te encaja si your saw is one of the listed models and the part references match what you need. Quizá no encaja si you are diagnosing a different fault or cannot confirm the replacement numbers.

Tips for day-to-day use

Before fitting anything, compare the kit’s part numbers and components with the parts removed from the saw. Keep the small pieces together during disassembly, and follow the saw’s repair instructions rather than relying on the brief product description. After installation, check that the throttle and choke controls move as intended and that the switch operates correctly before returning the saw to use. If you are not confident working on chainsaw controls, having a qualified repairer handle the job is the safer route.

This set is intended to support control operation, it does not include a stated tool list, fitting guide or additional chainsaw components. Those details matter if you are planning the repair from scratch.

Buying questions

Which saws are listed as compatible? The description names STIHL MS180, MS170, 018 and 017 chainsaws. Confirm your exact saw and part references before choosing the kit.

What comes in the package? One switch shaft, one choke rod, one throttle rod and one contact spring.

Which replacement numbers are provided? The listing gives 1130 182 0900, 1130 185 2000, 1130 182 1500 and 1130 442 1602. Use these to compare with the part you are replacing.

Is it worth it?

This kit is worth considering when you have identified a problem with the listed throttle, choke or switch components and have verified that the replacement references suit your saw. Buying the related pieces together may be more practical than tracking them down individually. If the fault is uncertain, the model fit is unclear, or you need installation guidance included, this listing leaves those questions unanswered, confirm the repair requirements first rather than treating the kit as a complete chainsaw fix.
