Key Features

• Genuine OEM Tension Spec — Manufactured to the precise tension and coil geometry required by the original choke mechanism, ensuring the choke valve opens and closes with the correct resistance.
• Direct Drop-In Installation — Matches the original mounting points and spring hooks on the carburetor choke assembly, allowing straightforward removal and reinstallation without modification.
• Broad GA and GAW Series Fitment — Confirmed for GA6HZ, GA3.6HZ, GA3.6HA, GA6HB, GA6HEB, GA3.6HR, GAW180HE, GAW180HE1, and GAW180HEA equipment.
• Cold-Start Reliability — A correctly tensioned choke spring ensures the choke returns to the fully open position once the engine is warm, preventing rich running and excessive fuel consumption.
• Fuel System Integrity — A worn or broken choke spring can prevent proper choke release, leading to rough running, stalling, or difficulty starting — replacing it restores consistent engine response.

The manual choke spring is a small but critical component in the carburetor choke circuit. Its job is to return the choke plate to the open position after a cold start, allowing the correct air-fuel mixture to reach the engine once it has warmed up. When this spring loses tension, stretches, or breaks, the choke plate may remain partially closed, causing the engine to run excessively rich, produce black exhaust smoke, or stall under load. Replacing a faulty choke spring restores proper carburetor function and helps maintain smooth, consistent power output from your generator or welder.
