Can you replace the choke lever on a Honda GCV160 carb? The one I got to replace old one is an autochoke, and this engine uses a manual choke. :frown: Can you swap the plastic choke lever?

I think the plastic arm is press-fitted / melted / crimped onto the choke shaft, so unlikely it could be swapped out.

I will try and get some tomorrow if I have time. Mowing season is just starting here and I am already running behind!

Forgot to take picturns but I made it work. The peg was in the spot the hole should be so I cut it off, and drilled a hole. Everything is working great now.
