The Wacker Neuson Throttle Lever is a genuine OEM component designed for the GP5600A, GP6600A, GPS5600A, GPS6600A, GV5600A, and GV6600A series portable generators. As a direct OEM replacement, part is produced to the same specification as the original, ensuring the throttle linkage operates exactly as intended from the factory. This lever fits across a wide range of GP, GPS, and GV family configurations — including standard, wheel kit, electric start, CARB, CSA, and EPA variants — making it a versatile stock item for service fleets and dealer shops alike. Confirm your model number before ordering to ensure this is the correct throttle lever for your specific generator configuration.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Throttle Geometry — Manufactured to the original pivot angle and lever arm length so throttle response remains linear and predictable across the full RPM range.
- Drop-In Linkage Compatibility — Connects directly to the existing throttle cable and carburetor linkage bracket without modification, simplifying replacement in the field.
- Broad GP / GPS / GV Series Coverage — Fits GP5600A, GP6600A, GPS5600A, GPS6600A, GV5600A, and GV6600A generators across EPA, CARB, CSA, standard, wheel kit, and electric-start configurations.
- Consistent Engine Speed Control — A worn or bent throttle lever causes erratic engine speed, voltage fluctuation, and unreliable power output; a fresh OEM lever restores stable, governed RPM under load.
- Fuel System Safety Alignment — Correct lever travel ensures the carburetor choke and governor linkage stay properly indexed, preventing over-fueling or uncontrolled RPM runaway during startup and load changes.
The throttle lever is the mechanical link between the operator-controlled throttle handle and the carburetor's fuel-metering circuit on a portable generator. It translates the physical movement of the throttle into precise changes in fuel and air delivery, allowing the engine to hold a stable RPM under varying electrical loads. When the lever is bent, cracked, or worn at its pivot point, the linkage loses its defined range of motion — resulting in hunting RPM, poor load response, or a generator that won't hold the frequency needed to safely power sensitive equipment.
