The Honda 16610-Z2D-802 Choke Lever Assembly (Black) is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GCV160, GCV190, and GSV190 vertical shaft engines. As a direct OEM component sourced from Honda, this assembly delivers the exact fit and function the original design calls for. This part is confirmed for GCV160, GCV190, and GSV190 engines — always verify your engine's serial number against the fitment table to ensure you're selecting the correct version for your unit.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — manufactured to the same specification as the part that left the factory, ensuring the choke lever moves and latches with the correct resistance and engagement for clean cold starts
- Exact Color Match — the Black finish matches the original component, maintaining the correct visual and tactile cue operators rely on to identify the choke position
- Vertical Shaft Engine Fitment — designed specifically for GCV160, GCV190, and GSV190 vertical shaft engines; confirm your serial number against the fitment table before ordering
- Restores Reliable Cold-Start Control — a worn or broken choke lever prevents the operator from fully closing or opening the choke, leading to hard starts, rough running, and inconsistent warm-up behavior
The choke lever assembly controls the choke plate inside the carburetor, restricting airflow to enrich the fuel-air mixture during cold starts. On GCV and GSV series vertical shaft engines, the operator uses this lever to open and close the choke as the engine warms up. When the lever is cracked, broken, or missing, the choke plate can no longer be set correctly — the engine may refuse to start in cold conditions or run rough until it reaches operating temperature. Replacing a damaged assembly restores full, predictable choke control and makes starting straightforward again.
