Choke Friction Spring 98-162-7

This choke friction spring is sourced from the original equipment manufacturer for use in carburetors. It is a small, coiled metal spring that helps to maintain the desired position of the choke by providing the right amount of tension. If the spring wears down, breaks, or is dislodged from its position, you will notice difficulties starting the engine, rough idling, and lower power output. To remove the spring, use a pair of needle nose pliers to detach it from the choke lever/plate. Install the new friction choke spring, and ensure it is adequately tensioned to keep the choke in place. Move the choke lever to confirm that the plate opens and closes freely, before reassembling your equipment.
