IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always confirm the correct OEM part number, machine model, and serial number before ordering, as Stihl has used several flywheel designs across the 94-series engine range. Although 4149 400 1200 fits many compatible models, fitment should always be verified against the machine's serial number or illustrated parts list.
A damaged or incorrectly fitted flywheel can cause difficult starting, ignition timing issues, excessive vibration, poor cooling performance, or recoil starter engagement problems. When replacing the flywheel, it is recommended to inspect the ignition module, flywheel key, crankshaft taper, recoil starter pawls, starter cup, and spark plug. Any cracked cooling fins, damaged magnets, or worn starter engagement surfaces should be addressed promptly to ensure reliable engine performance and long service life.
