Description

Tillotson 26-461 OEM Choke Shaft Assembly – Fits HL-166B, HL-292G, HL-366A & More


The Tillotson 26-461 Choke Shaft Assembly is a genuine OEM replacement designed to restore proper choke functionality in your HL-series Tillotson carburetor. If your original choke shaft is worn, damaged, or missing, this assembly provides a precise fit and reliable performance.


The choke system is essential for cold starting. By restricting airflow, the choke increases engine vacuum at the carburetor’s low-speed circuit, enriching the fuel mixture and making it easier to start the engine.


Key Features:

  • OEM Part Number: 26-461
  • Function: Replaces or repairs the choke shaft and plate assembly
  • Material: Durable, corrosion-resistant metal construction
  • Application: Enables proper cold start fuel enrichment by reducing airflow

Compatible Tillotson Carburetor Models:

  • HL-166B
  • HL-166C
  • HL-292G
  • HL-366A
  • HL-371A

Always verify your carburetor model before ordering to ensure correct fitment.


Ideal For:

  • Chainsaw and 2-cycle engine technicians
  • Small engine rebuilds and carburetor restoration
  • Replacing a sticking, loose, or damaged choke shaft
