The Multiquip 1616252038 Choke Shaft Assembly is a genuine OEM component designed for MT-75H and MT-85H rammers. As a factory-sourced part, it meets the exact specifications set by Multiquip for these tamper models, ensuring the carburetor choke system operates exactly as intended. This assembly is a direct replacement for worn or damaged choke shafts on compatible MT-series rammers, and it installs without any guesswork — the fit is confirmed for MT-75H and MT-85H units.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's original design tolerances, ensuring the choke shaft engages and rotates with the correct resistance and range of motion for consistent fuel-air mixture control.
- Direct Replacement for MT-75H and MT-85H — Engineered specifically for these MT-series rammers; slots directly into the carburetor choke assembly without adaptation.
- Restores Proper Cold-Start Performance — A worn or bent choke shaft causes hard starting and erratic idling; replacing it with 1616252038 brings cold-start enrichment back to spec.
- Fuel System Integrity — Correct choke shaft fitment prevents unmetered air from entering the carburetor, protecting the engine from lean-run conditions that accelerate wear.
- Sourced from Multiquip's OEM Parts Network — Sold by DHS Equipment as an authorized Multiquip replacement, so the part you receive matches the original component exactly.
The choke shaft assembly is the mechanical linkage that opens and closes the choke plate inside the carburetor. When you engage the choke for a cold start, this shaft rotates the choke butterfly to restrict incoming air, richening the fuel-air mixture so the engine fires reliably in cold or low-temperature conditions. As the engine warms up and the choke is released, the shaft returns the plate to the open position for normal running. When the shaft becomes worn, bent, or seized, the choke plate may stick closed — flooding the engine — or fail to close at all, making cold starts difficult and causing rough running until the engine reaches full operating temperature.
