The Honda 36160-Z2E-801 Throttle & Choke Control Motor is a genuine OEM component designed for GX440 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is manufactured to the exact specifications of the original unit it replaces, ensuring proper operation of the engine's automated throttle and choke functions. Confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to ensure this is the correct part for your specific GX440.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Actuation — Honda-sourced component that delivers the correct range of motion and response timing for the throttle and choke control system on the GX440.
- Direct OEM Replacement — engineered to the original form and interface, this part installs in place of the worn or failed unit without modification.
- GX440 Fitment — built specifically for GX440 horizontal shaft engines; verify your serial number against the fitment table to confirm the correct application.
- Restored Automatic Control — a failed throttle and choke control motor leaves the engine unable to regulate speed or choke position automatically, causing hard starts, erratic idle, or runaway RPM; replacing it restores proper electronic governor and choke behavior.
The Throttle & Choke Control Motor is an electromechanical actuator that moves the throttle and choke plates in response to signals from the engine's electronic control system. By precisely positioning these plates, it controls engine speed under varying loads and manages the choke during cold starts. When this motor wears out or fails, the engine loses the ability to adjust automatically — resulting in symptoms such as difficulty starting, unstable speed, or an inability to respond to load changes — making timely replacement essential to keeping the GX440 running as intended.
