The Honda 16590-ZE2-812 is a genuine OEM Choke Control Stay Assembly (Remote) designed for GX240, GX270, GX340, and GX390 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM component, this assembly is manufactured to the same standards as the original, ensuring a correct, trouble-free installation. Honda supersedes parts at serial-number breaks, so confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering. This assembly carries the remote variant designation, meaning it is configured for remote choke operation — verify that your engine uses a remote choke setup rather than a manual-local arrangement before purchasing.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Construction — manufactured by Honda to match the original assembly exactly, delivering the correct geometry and cable routing that remote choke operation depends on
- Remote Choke Configuration — the (Remote) designation identifies this as the remote-operated variant; match this to your engine's choke control setup before ordering, as the local and remote versions are not interchangeable
- Broad GX-Series Fitment — compatible with GX240, GX270, GX340, and GX390 horizontal shaft engines, covering a wide range of Honda's commercial mid-displacement lineup
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda updates parts at defined serial-number intervals; check your engine's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct assembly for your unit
- Choke System Integrity — a damaged or missing stay bracket allows the choke linkage to shift out of position, making consistent cold-start enrichment unreliable and causing hard starting or rough running until the engine reaches operating temperature
The choke control stay assembly is the bracket that anchors the remote choke cable and its associated linkage to the engine. On GX-series engines equipped with remote choke operation, this stay holds the control mechanism in precise alignment so the choke plate opens and closes fully in response to input from the operator's remote control. When the stay is cracked, bent, or missing, the cable loses its reference point and the choke can stick open or fail to open at all — leading to hard cold starts, fuel-rich running, or an engine that refuses to warm up correctly. Replacing a damaged stay with a correct genuine OEM part restores the full range of choke movement and brings dependable cold-start performance back to the engine.
