Description

Choke Shaft Assembly for Honda GX200 & Clone Stock Carburetors – Complete Shutter System


Restore your engine’s cold-start reliability with this Choke Shaft Assembly, designed to fit Honda GX200 and most clone-style stock carburetors. The choke system works by reducing incoming airflow, increasing vacuum pressure in the carburetor to draw more fuel through the circuits—making cold starts faster and more consistent.


This assembly is commonly required in Box Stock racing classes, though it may be optional in Super Animal (SA)classes. For engines without a choke system, manual choking can still be done by cupping the filter adapter or using a crush-style air filter during startup. Once the engine is warmed up, it should restart without needing choke assistance.


Includes:

  • Plastic Choke Shaft
  • Steel Choke Valve/Shutter (Butterfly Plate)


Compatible With Clone Carburetors:

  • Tillotson PK-1
  • Huayi
  • Ruixing
  • SP Clone Carburetors


Fits the Following Engines:

  • Honda GX200 / Clone (196cc)
  • Box Stock Project 196
  • Tillotson 196 / 212
  • Ducar 196 / 212 / 224
  • Predator 212 (Hemi & Non-Hemi)
  • Predator 224 Non-Hemi
  • Wildcat 223


Racing Note:

Most Box Stock class rules require the choke system to be present and functional. Always verify your racing organization’s technical regulations before removing or modifying the choke system.


Whether you're rebuilding a stock engine or prepping for competition, this OEM-style choke shaft assembly ensures smooth startups, legal compliance, and optimal fuel delivery when it matters most.
