The Honda 16230-ZE3-702 Solenoid Valve Assembly is a genuine OEM component designed for a wide range of Honda GX240, GX270, GX340, and GX390 horizontal shaft engines, as well as EB3500, EB3800, EB5000, EB6500, EM3500, EM3800, EM5000, EM6500, EW171, EXW171, EX3300, and EX4500 generators and welder generators. As a direct Honda OEM part, this Solenoid Valve Assembly is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring a drop-in fit with no guesswork. Confirm your model and serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at defined serial breaks across this broad range of equipment.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fuel Control — Honda-sourced solenoid valve engineered to deliver the precise fuel shutoff response the carburetor relies on, eliminating the inconsistent actuation that worn or inferior valves can produce.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — built to the original Honda specification, this assembly installs in place of the factory unit without modification on compatible engines and generators.
- Broad Fitment — covers GX240, GX270, GX340, and GX390 horizontal shaft engines, including EB, EM, EX, and EW series generators and welder generators; verify your serial number against the fitment table to confirm the correct part for your unit.
- Protects Against Run-On
The Solenoid Valve Assembly is an electrically operated fuel control device mounted in the carburetor circuit. When the ignition is switched on, the solenoid energizes and opens a passage that allows fuel to flow into the carburetor; when the ignition is cut, the solenoid de-energizes and closes that passage, stopping fuel delivery and bringing the engine to a clean stop. A failed or sticking solenoid valve can cause hard starting, erratic idle, or uncontrolled engine run-on after shutdown — symptoms that affect both the bare GX-series engines this part serves and the generators and welder generators they power.
