The Honda 16262-ZB7-000 Choke Solenoid Lever is a genuine OEM component designed for GX340 horizontal shaft engines, EX3300 and EX4500 generators, and the EXW171 welder generator. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a correct drop-in fit with no guesswork. Confirm your model and serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at production breaks and this choke solenoid lever must match your specific unit.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this lever meets the original design intent for correct choke solenoid engagement and release across every compatible application.
- Correct Choke Actuation — a worn or damaged choke solenoid lever can cause erratic choke operation, hard starting, or failure to reach full power; this replacement restores proper automatic choke function.
- Broad Fitment — compatible with GX340 horizontal shaft engines, EX3300 and EX4500 generators, and the EXW171 welder generator, including both conventional generator and welder generator applications.
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates part numbers at serial production breaks, so cross-check your machine's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the right lever for your unit.
The choke solenoid lever is the mechanical link between the electric choke solenoid and the choke plate on the carburetor. When the engine is cold, the solenoid holds the choke in a partially closed position to enrich the fuel mixture for easier starting; as the engine warms up, the solenoid releases and the lever allows the choke to open fully so the engine can run on a normal air-fuel ratio. If the lever is cracked, bent, or worn at its pivot point, the choke may stick closed — starving the engine of air at operating temperature — or fail to close at all, making cold starts difficult and unreliable.
