The Wacker Neuson Choke Cable Lever is a genuine OEM component designed for the RD12-90 and RD12A-90 series tandem rollers, including standard, foldable ROPS, and green-deck configurations. As a direct factory replacement, this lever restores proper choke cable operation and ensures the engine starts and runs as intended under job conditions. Compatible across multiple RD12 build variants, part number is the correct specification for both solid ROPS and foldable ROPS machines in this family.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Choke Control Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original design spec, ensuring the cable engagement point and lever geometry match the factory choke assembly exactly.
- Direct Swap Installation — Mounts to the existing choke cable and operator console hardware without modification, restoring full choke range of motion.
- Broad RD12 Family Coverage — Fits RD12-90 and RD12A-90 tandem rollers across standard, foldable ROPS, and double-drum configurations.
- Cold-Start Performance — A functioning choke lever gives the operator precise control over the air-fuel mixture during cold starts, preventing hard-starting and rough idle in low-temperature conditions.
- Fuel System Safety — Correct choke operation prevents prolonged cranking and over-fueling, protecting the engine and reducing unburned fuel risk during startup.
The choke cable lever is the operator-side control that opens and closes the engine's choke valve via a flexible cable. By restricting airflow into the carburetor, the choke enriches the fuel mixture to help a cold engine fire and warm up smoothly. When the lever becomes worn, cracked, or loses its detent feel, the operator loses reliable control over choke position — leading to hard starts, stalling during warm-up, or an engine that runs rich and burns excess fuel. Replacing a damaged lever restores confident, repeatable choke control on the RD12-90 and RD12A-90 tandem rollers.
