The Honda 31216-Z4M-003 Yoke Assembly is a genuine OEM component designed for GX160 and GX200 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is built to the same specification as the original, ensuring a proper fit without modification. This assembly is the correct replacement for GX160 and GX200 engines, but Honda supersedes parts at serial number breaks, so verify your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering. When the Yoke Assembly wears or fails, restoring it with part number 31216-Z4M-003 brings the starting system back to full working condition.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM Quality — manufactured to Honda's original specification, ensuring the correct dimensions and engagement geometry for reliable starter operation
- Direct OEM Replacement — fits GX160 and GX200 horizontal shaft engines as a drop-in replacement for the original yoke assembly
- Serial Number Verification Recommended — Honda issues part supersessions at production breaks; check your engine serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the right assembly for your unit
- Restored Starter Engagement — a worn or damaged yoke assembly causes inconsistent or failed starter engagement; replacing it with this OEM part returns the starter to proper operation
The Yoke Assembly is a core component of the electric starter system on GX160 and GX200 horizontal shaft engines. It transfers rotational force from the starter motor to the engine's ring gear, engaging at the moment of startup and disengaging cleanly once the engine fires. When the yoke wears, cracks, or loses its correct geometry, the starter may fail to engage the ring gear properly, leading to grinding, no-crank conditions, or starter motor damage.
