Additional Information

The MTD Lawn & Garden Equipment Engine Choke Shaft (part number KM-16041-0007) controls the air-fuel mixture entering the carburetor to help you start the engine smoothly, especially in colder conditions. It replaces part numbers 16041-0007 and KM-16041-7050.

If your engine has difficulty starting or stalls during operation, a worn or damaged choke shaft may be the cause. Replacing the choke shaft can restore proper air control and improve engine performance.

Before installing the choke shaft, work in a well-ventilated area. Drain the fuel tank and disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation. Refer to the service manual for your model or consult a technician if you need help with installation.
