The Honda 16264-ZE2-780 Choke Rod is a genuine OEM replacement designed for Honda two-stage snow blowers, including the HS80, HS928, HS1132, HS1332, HSS928, and HSS1332. As a direct Honda OEM component, this choke rod is manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring correct operation of the choke linkage on the machines it serves. Confirm your snow blower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda introduces part updates at specific serial breaks.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Choke Linkage — sourced directly from Honda, this rod delivers the precise geometry needed for consistent choke engagement and release on your snow blower's carburetor.
- Check Your Serial Number — Honda updates parts at defined production points; verify your machine's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm part number 16264-ZE2-780 is the right fit for your unit.
- Restored Cold-Start Control — a bent, worn, or missing choke rod prevents the choke plate from opening and closing fully, causing hard starts and poor running until the engine warms; replacing this rod restores proper choke travel.
The choke rod is the mechanical link between the choke lever on the handlebar and the choke plate inside the carburetor. When the operator sets the choke, the rod transmits that movement to close the choke plate, enriching the fuel mixture for cold starts. As the engine warms and the choke is released, the rod pulls the plate back to the fully open position for normal running. If the rod is bent, disconnected, or broken, the choke plate loses its connection to the control lever — making cold starts difficult and potentially leaving the choke partially closed during operation, which starves the engine of air and causes rough running.
