Description
Overview:
The Linkage, Choke-(#Dsc) for Kohler CV460 and CV461 engines (OEM 12 079 11-S) is a genuine Kohler component that connects the choke control to the carburettor to set the choke plate for cold starting. It is a formed steel rod designed for precise movement and long service life in demanding outdoor environments. By ensuring the correct air-fuel mixture during start-up, it supports reliable ignition and smoother warm-up, helping protect the engine from flooding or hard starting. Built for Kohler Command vertical shaft engines, it is commonly fitted to garden and construction machinery such as ride-on mowers and compact equipment powered by CV-series engines. This direct-fit part helps restore original operation on CV460 and CV461 units without modification.
Key Features:
- Genuine Kohler part for assured compatibility and fit with CV-series engines
- Direct replacement for OEM number 12 079 11-S to simplify sourcing and maintenance
- Formed steel construction for durability and stable linkage movement
- Helps achieve correct choke position for easier cold starts and reduced warm-up issues
- Maintains smooth idle and throttle transition as the engine reaches operating temperature
- Designed to match factory geometry, reducing setup time and adjustment
- Suitable for harsh outdoor use found in garden and construction machinery
- Supports routine servicing to extend engine life and reliability
Typical Applications:
Used on equipment powered by Kohler CV-series engines, including lawn and garden tractors, zero‐turn mowers, turf machinery, small generators, chippers, and similar compact machinery on job sites. Ideal when resolving hard starting, poor cold performance, or incorrect choke engagement caused by worn, bent, or missing linkage rods.
