The Honda 16614-Z0L-800 Choke Lever Spring is a genuine OEM component designed for the GCV160 vertical shaft engine. Sourced directly from Honda, this spring ensures the choke lever returns correctly and holds its position reliably during cold starts and warm-up operation. If your engine is hard to start or the choke lever feels loose, sloppy, or fails to snap back into position, replacing this spring is the correct first step.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Quality — manufactured to Honda's exact tension and geometry specifications, ensuring the choke lever engages and releases with the correct resistance every time
- Direct OEM Replacement — engineered specifically for the GCV160 vertical shaft engine; this part installs without modification using the original mounting points
- Restore Proper Choke Function — a worn or fatigued choke lever spring causes inconsistent choke positioning, leading to hard starts, rough running on warm-up, or an engine that floods easily
- Verify Your Serial Number — Honda supersedes parts at serial-number breaks, so confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering
The choke lever spring applies tension to the choke lever assembly in the carburetor, holding the choke plate in its set position during starting and releasing it smoothly as the engine warms up. Without the correct spring tension, the choke lever can drift out of position, making the fuel-air mixture unpredictable and causing hard starting or rough idle on cold mornings. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring restores the precise lever control the carburetor needs to deliver a clean, consistent start every time.
