The Multiquip 16610ZE1000 Choke Lever Standard is a genuine OEM replacement designed for a wide range of Multiquip, Whiteman, Essick, and STOW equipment including plate compactors, concrete mixers, walk-behind trowels, power buggies, pumps, and saws. This part is sourced directly from Multiquip and is built to the same specification as the original component it replaces. Confirmed fitment spans models including MVC, MVH, MC, WM, EM, QP, and SP series machines, among many others. Ordering by part number 16610ZE1000 ensures you receive the correct lever for your Honda-engine-equipped unit.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's original design spec, ensuring the lever engages and releases the choke circuit with the correct travel and detent feel for Honda-powered engines.
• Direct Drop-In Replacement — Mounts to the existing carburetor choke shaft and bracket using the original hardware, with no rework to the mounting point needed.
• Broad Cross-Equipment Compatibility — Fits plate compactors (MVC, MVH, MVB), concrete and mortar mixers (MC, WM, EM, WC, CMS), walk-behind trowels, power buggies, pumps, and saws across the Multiquip portfolio.
• Consistent Cold-Start Performance — A properly functioning choke lever allows the operator to enrichen the fuel mixture on demand, supporting reliable cold starts and smooth engine warm-up cycles.
• Fuel System Integrity — A worn or broken choke lever can leave the choke plate stuck open or closed, causing hard starting, rough running, or excessive fuel consumption — replacing it promptly restores correct carburetor operation.

The choke lever is the operator-controlled linkage that opens and closes the choke plate inside the carburetor. When starting a cold engine, closing the choke restricts incoming air to create a richer fuel-to-air mixture, which is necessary for ignition in cold conditions. Once the engine warms up, the lever is moved to the open position to restore normal airflow. If the lever is cracked, bent, or missing, the choke plate cannot be controlled reliably, leading to hard starts, stalling during warm-up, or a chronically rich-running engine that wastes fuel and fouls the spark plug.
