Additional information

This engine choke shaft and lever assembly, part number 632108, connects the choke control to the carburetors choke plate so airflow can be restricted during cold starts and opened as the engine warms up. Smooth movement of the shaft and lever helps ensure reliable starting and stable engine operation.

If the engine is hard to start when cold, stalls shortly after starting, or the choke control feels loose or does not move the choke plate, the shaft and lever assembly may be worn, bent, or disconnected. Binding or incomplete choke movement can also affect fuel and air balance.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the carburetor carefully, install the new shaft and lever in the correct orientation, and confirm the choke plate opens and closes fully before reassembling.
