Key Features
- Genuine OEM Choke Linkage Integrity — Factory-sourced from Multiquip, this choke rod matches the precise length, diameter, and end geometry of the original, ensuring the choke plate opens and closes correctly across its full range of travel.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to connect directly to the existing choke linkage assembly on GX240 and GX340K1-equipped machines, dropping in without reworking mounting points or linkage hardware.
- Broad GA and GAW Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment across GA6HZ, GA3.6HZ, GA3.6HA, GA6HB, GA6HEB, GA3.6HR, GAW180HEA, GAW180HE1, and GAW180HE equipment.
- Consistent Cold-Start and Warm-Up Performance — A correctly functioning choke rod allows the engine to reach the proper air-fuel mixture for cold starts and smooth transition to normal running, preventing hard starts and rough idle.
- Fuel System Safety Relevance — A bent or disconnected choke rod can cause an over-rich condition that floods the engine or leads to uncontrolled fuel delivery; replacing a worn rod promptly maintains safe, predictable operation.
The choke rod is a mechanical linkage component that connects the choke lever or control to the choke plate inside the carburetor. When you engage the choke for a cold start, the rod physically rotates the choke plate to restrict incoming air, enriching the fuel mixture so the engine fires reliably in cold conditions. When the rod is bent, worn at its connection points, or broken, the choke plate can no longer be positioned accurately, leading to hard starts, excessive fuel consumption, black exhaust smoke, or an engine that floods and refuses to start.
