The Multiquip 16264ZE2700 is a genuine OEM Choke Rod GX240 340K1 HC- designed for GX240 engine applications. As a direct OEM replacement, this part is sourced and supplied to the same specification as the original component it replaces, ensuring a correct installation without guesswork. This choke rod is confirmed to fit GX240-powered equipment in the Multiquip lineup, making it the reliable choice when servicing affected units.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to the exact material and dimensional spec of the original choke rod, ensuring the linkage operates with the same action and durability as when the engine left the factory.
- Direct Bolt-In Replacement — Connects directly to the existing choke linkage assembly on GX240 engines with no rework or fabrication needed.
- GX240 Engine Fitment — Confirmed for GX240-powered Multiquip equipment; cross-referenced under part 16264ZE2700 for accurate sourcing.
- Smooth Choke Operation — A correctly fitted choke rod maintains precise cable-to-butterfly valve actuation, supporting clean cold starts and proper fuel-air mixture control throughout warm-up.
- Fuel System Integrity — A worn or bent choke rod can prevent the choke from closing or opening fully, leading to hard starting, rough running, or excessive fuel consumption — replacing it restores correct choke travel.
The choke rod is the mechanical link between the choke control lever and the carburetor's choke butterfly valve. When you activate the choke to start a cold engine, this rod transfers that input to restrict airflow into the carburetor, enriching the fuel mixture for easier ignition. If the rod is bent, cracked, or disconnected, the choke valve cannot actuate properly — resulting in difficult cold starts, inconsistent idle, or a choke that stays partially closed and floods the engine during normal operation. Replacing a damaged choke rod promptly restores full control over the choke system and protects engine performance.
