The Honda 16252-ZA1-010 Choke Lever Cap is a genuine OEM replacement designed for a wide range of Honda generators, welder generators, snow blowers, and horizontal shaft engines, including the GX240 and GX270 engine lines, EB3500, EB3800, EB4000, EB5000, EM3500, EM3800, EM4000, EM5000, EMS4000, EMS4500, EW140, EW171, EXW171, EX3300, EX4500, EX5500, HS1132, HS1332, HS80, HS928, HSS1332, and HSS928. As a direct Honda OEM component, this cap is manufactured to the same specification as the part that left the factory, ensuring an exact match in form and function. Confirm the part number 16252-ZA1-010 against your machine's serial number before ordering, as Honda periodically supersedes parts at serial-number breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — sourced directly from Honda, this cap is built to the exact material and dimensional specification of the original, so it seats and retains correctly on the choke lever without trimming or adjustment.
- Correct Choke Lever Fit — engineered to snap onto Honda's choke lever assembly, restoring the clean, positive engagement the lever needs for smooth choke operation.
- Broad Compatibility — fits Honda EB, EM, EMS, EX, and EXW generators, EW and EXW welder generators, GX240 and GX270 horizontal shaft engines, and HS and HSS two-stage snow blowers, including the HS80, HS928, HS1132, HS1332, HSS928, and HSS1332.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates part supersessions at specific serial breaks; check your machine's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the right cap for your unit.
The choke lever cap covers and protects the tip of the choke lever on the carburetor, providing a finished surface for the operator to grip and move the choke between open and closed positions. Without it, the exposed lever tip can become uncomfortable to operate and may wear prematurely or catch debris that interferes with smooth choke movement. Replacing a cracked, missing, or deteriorated cap restores the tactile control the operator relies on for cold starting and warm-up operation.
