This is a genuine STIHL starter pawl used in the recoil starter mechanism of heavy-duty cut-off saws. The pawl engages the starter pulley during pull-starting, ensuring a reliable connection to turn the engine over. When these small but critical components wear or break, the recoil will slip and the machine won’t start — replacing worn pawls restores smooth starter engagement.
