The Multiquip 16500Z4M306 is a genuine OEM Control Assembly GX160UT2QMX2 designed for MVC88VTH, MVC88VTHW, MVC82VH, and MVC82VHW plate compactors. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this assembly ensures an exact match to the original Honda GX160UT2QMX2 engine configuration found on these machines. DHS Equipment supplies this part as a direct OEM replacement, giving you confidence that the component you install is the same specification as what left the factory. Verify your model code against the fitment list before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Engine Control Integrity — Manufactured to the exact Honda GX160UT2QMX2 engine specification, ensuring correct throttle response and governor interaction without calibration guesswork.
- Drop-In Installation — Designed to mount directly to the GX160UT2QMX2 engine assembly on compatible MVC-series plate compactors, using existing hardware and mounting points.
- Broad MVC-Series Compatibility — Fits MVC88VTH, MVC88VTHW, MVC82VH, and MVC82VHW plate compactors, covering both standard and water-tank-equipped variants in the MVC class.
- Restored Engine Management Performance — A worn or damaged control assembly can cause erratic engine speed, poor compaction output, and uncontrolled throttle behavior; replacing it restores stable, consistent engine operation.
- Fuel System and Governor Safety — The control assembly governs engine speed and throttle linkage; a correctly functioning unit prevents over-revving and maintains safe operating RPM under load.
The control assembly on a Honda GX160-powered plate compactor manages the throttle linkage, governor arm connection, and engine speed regulation. It acts as the mechanical interface between the operator's throttle input and the engine's internal governor, keeping engine RPM stable under the varying load demands of compaction work. When this assembly is worn, bent, or broken, the engine may surge, hunt for RPM, or fail to maintain the consistent speed needed to deliver effective compaction force — making timely replacement essential for both performance and safe operation.
