STL MS231/MS251 Ignition Coil
High-Performance Ignition Module for STIHL MS231 & MS251 Chainsaws
The ignition coil is a critical component of the electronic ignition system on STIHL MS231, MS231C, MS251, and MS251C chainsaws . This solid-state ignition module generates the high-voltage spark required to ignite the fuel-air mixture in the engine cylinder. When the flywheel magnet passes the coil, it induces a high-voltage current that travels through the spark plug lead to ignite the fuel . A failing ignition coil typically manifests as weak spark, intermittent starting, misfiring under load, or a complete no-start condition. This replacement coil is designed to OEM specifications for reliable, long-lasting performance in demanding cutting conditions.


Technical Profiles & Materials
Precision Solid-State Design – Modern electronic ignition module without breaker points or condenser, providing more reliable spark and less maintenance than older ignition systems. Delivers consistent spark timing for smooth engine operation and easy starting in all conditions.
Wide Model Compatibility – Specifically designed for STIHL MS231, MS231C, MS251, and MS251C chainsaws . Also compatible with MS231 2-Mix, MS251 2-Mix, and MS261C models .
OEM-Spec Replacement – Replaces genuine STIHL part numbers 1143 400 1307, 1143 400 1315, 1143 400 1317, and 1140 400 1307 . Also cross-references to 1143-400-1307 and 11434001307 .
Robust Construction – Resin-encapsulated body protects electronics from vibration, dust, and moisture . Laminated steel core with copper windings ensures optimal conductivity and long service life.

Products Application

Chainsaw Engine Repair
Direct replacement for failed or failing ignition coils on STIHL MS231 and MS251 chainsaws. Restores reliable spark for easy starting and consistent operation. A defective ignition coil typically manifests as hard starting, intermittent spark, misfiring under load, or complete no-start condition.

Preventative Maintenance
When performing a full tune-up, replacing the ignition coil alongside the spark plug ensures optimal engine performance . This comprehensive service approach prevents downtime and extends chainsaw service life. The resin-encapsulated design protects electronics from vibration, dust, and moisture, making it ideal for demanding work conditions .

Professional Servicing
Suitable for workshop repairs and field maintenance. The bolt-on design allows quick replacement with basic hand tools, minimizing equipment downtime for professional users. Positioned near the engine flywheel, it works seamlessly with the existing flywheel magnet to accurately time the high-voltage spark under load .
