Key Features
- Genuine OEM Choke Lever: — An authentic Multiquip replacement manufactured to the same specification as the original, ensuring correct lever travel, detent feel, and choke plate engagement on the GX240K1 engine.
- Direct-Swap Installation: — Mounts to the existing carburetor linkage bracket using the original fastener locations — no drilling, trimming, or fabrication needed.
- Broad GA and GAW Series Coverage: — A single part number services the GA6HZ, GA3.6HZ, GA3.6HA, GA6HB, GA6HEB, GA3.6HR, GAW180HEA, GAW180HE1, and GAW180HE.
- Cold-Start Performance: — A properly functioning choke lever gives the operator precise control over the air-fuel mixture at startup, cutting crank time and protecting the engine during warm-up.
- Fuel System Integrity: — A worn or broken choke lever can leave the choke plate stuck open or closed, causing hard starts, rough running, or excessive fuel draw — replacing it promptly restores safe, consistent engine operation.
The choke lever is the mechanical link between the operator-controlled choke knob or handle and the choke plate inside the carburetor. When the choke is engaged, the lever rotates the plate to restrict incoming air, enriching the fuel mixture and helping the engine fire in cold or low-temperature conditions. As the lever wears, cracks, or loses its detent position, the choke plate can no longer be held in the correct position, leading to difficult cold starts, stalling, or an overly rich mixture that fouls the spark plug and increases fuel consumption. Replacing the lever restores full operator control over the starting sequence and keeps the engine running cleanly across all load conditions.
