Stihl Throttle Cable - OEM Number: 4228-180-1101

The Stihl Throttle Cable (OEM 4228-180-1101) is a genuine replacement control cable designed for use on selected Stihl outdoor power equipment. The throttle cable provides a reliable mechanical connection between the throttle trigger and the engine carburettor or throttle body, ensuring smooth, accurate throttle response and precise engine speed control during operation.

Manufactured to OEM specifications using a high-strength steel inner cable with a durable outer sheath, the throttle cable is engineered to withstand repeated movement, vibration, moisture, and the demanding conditions encountered in forestry, landscaping, and grounds maintenance applications. Precision-manufactured for an accurate fit, it is designed as a direct replacement component to restore the correct operation of the machine's throttle control system.

• Transfers throttle input from the trigger to the engine
• Provides smooth and accurate engine speed control
• Ensures reliable throttle response during operation
• Resists stretching and wear under repeated use
• Withstands vibration and harsh working conditions
• Designed for professional outdoor power equipment

• Other Stihl machines fitted with the compatible throttle control system

Always verify compatibility using the machine model, serial number, and OEM part number before ordering, as throttle cables can vary in length, end fittings, routing, and application between machine models and production revisions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Always confirm the correct OEM part number, machine model, serial number, and throttle control specification before ordering, as throttle cables are manufactured to precise dimensions and operating requirements. Installing the correct component is essential to ensure smooth throttle operation, accurate engine speed control, and safe machine performance.

Common signs that a throttle cable requires replacement include stiff or jerky throttle operation, excessive free play, frayed cable strands, damaged outer casing, sticking throttle response, or complete cable failure. When replacing the throttle cable, it is recommended to inspect the throttle trigger, return spring, carburettor linkage, cable guides, and surrounding control components for signs of wear or damage. Replacing any worn associated components at the same time will help maximise the reliability and service life of the complete throttle control system.
