Multiquip 16956ZE1811 Valve Lever Spring

The Multiquip 16956ZE1811 is a genuine OEM Valve Lever Spring designed for a wide range of Multiquip, Whiteman, Essick, and STOW equipment, including plate compactors in the MVC and MVH series, concrete and mortar mixers in the MC, WM, EC, and CMS families, walk-behind trowels, power buggies, masonry and flat saws, backpack vibrators, pumps, and rollers. This spring is sourced directly from Multiquip, ensuring it meets the original design specification for every machine it covers. Confirming your model against the fitment list before ordering is the best way to protect your investment. DHS Equipment stocks this part as a direct OEM replacement so you get the right component the first time.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Spring Tension — Manufactured to the exact load rate and free-length spec of the original, so the valve lever returns consistently under operating conditions.
• Drop-In Installation — Matches the original mounting points and hook geometry, allowing direct installation without modification to the lever, pivot, or adjacent linkage.
• Broad Cross-Family Fitment — Covers MVC and MVH plate compactors, MC/WM/EC/CMS concrete and mortar mixers, walk-behind trowels, power buggies, pumps, saws, and backpack vibrators across the Multiquip portfolio.
• Consistent Lever Return — A correctly tensioned valve lever spring keeps throttle or fuel-valve linkage snapping back to the proper rest position, preventing engine over-speed or erratic fuel delivery.
• Corrosion-Resistant Construction — Spring-grade steel resists fatigue and corrosion through repeated flex cycles in dusty, wet, and high-vibration environments typical of compaction and mixing jobsites.

The valve lever spring applies return tension to the throttle or fuel-valve lever on the engine or control linkage, holding it in the correct rest position when the operator releases input. Without adequate spring tension, the lever can stick, flutter, or fail to return fully, leading to inconsistent engine speed, difficult throttle control, or unintended fuel-valve positions. Replacing a fatigued or broken spring restores crisp, predictable lever response and keeps the engine operating within its designed control range.
