Description
Overview:
This choke linkage is a genuine Kohler replacement part for selected CV-series petrol engines, including CV15 and CV430, supplied to OEM No. 12 079 07-S. The linkage is a formed steel rod with a corrosion‐resistant finish, made to transmit movement from the choke control to the carburettor choke plate. Correct choke operation enriches the air‐fuel mixture for reliable cold starts and stable warm‐up, helping the engine run smoothly and efficiently. It is used on a wide range of garden and light construction machines powered by Kohler vertical‐shaft engines, such as ride‐on mowers, lawn tractors, and compact equipment. Built to Kohler specifications, it provides the correct geometry and fit for dependable performance over long service intervals.
Key Features:
