The Multiquip 16265ZE2721 Choke Rod Stopper is a genuine OEM component designed for GX240 and GX340K1 engines fitted to Multiquip gasoline-powered generators and arc welders. As a direct OEM replacement, part 16265ZE2721 is manufactured to the exact tolerances required for proper choke rod engagement and retention. This stopper is confirmed to fit the GA6HZ, GA3.6HZ, GA3.6HA, GA6HB, GA6HEB, GA3.6HR, GAW180HEA, GAW180HE1, and GAW180HE series. Sourced directly through authorized Multiquip supply channels, this part ensures your machine runs exactly as it left the factory floor.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Molded and dimensioned to Honda GX240/GX340K1 carburetor specifications, ensuring correct choke rod retention without slipping or misalignment.
- Drop-In Replacement — Installs directly into the carburetor choke linkage position with no trimming or fitting required, maintaining original choke rod travel and engagement geometry.
- Broad Generator and Welder Fitment — Confirmed compatibility across GA6HZ, GA3.6HZ, GA3.6HA, GA6HB, GA6HEB, GA3.6HR, GAW180HEA, GAW180HE1, and GAW180HE models.
- Consistent Cold-Start Performance — A correctly seated choke rod stopper keeps the choke mechanism operating through its full range of motion, supporting reliable cold-start enrichment on every pull.
- Fuel System Integrity — A failed or missing stopper allows the choke rod to shift out of position, disrupting the air-fuel mixture and potentially preventing the engine from starting or running cleanly.
The choke rod stopper is a small retention component in the carburetor's choke linkage assembly. Its job is to hold the choke rod in its correct lateral position so the choke plate opens and closes fully in response to the operator control. When the stopper is cracked, missing, or worn, the choke rod can drift or disengage, leaving the choke stuck partially open or closed. This disrupts the air-fuel ratio the engine needs to start under cold conditions or run cleanly at load, and in a generator or welder application, that translates directly to unreliable power output.
