Description
Overview:
The Throttle Spring for Honda GC135 and GC160 (GCAH) engines is a small but important control component that keeps your engine responsive and stable. Made from robust spring steel with hooked ends, it links the governor/throttle mechanism and provides the return force needed for steady idle and clean acceleration. By restoring correct tension in the throttle linkage, it helps prevent hunting, surging, and weak throttle return. Suitable for general-purpose Honda GC-series engines found in garden and construction equipment, it supports reliable performance in tools such as lawn and turf machines, pumps, and pressure washers. Identified as 16562 ZL8 000, it is designed to match the original specification for the GC135 and GC160 so you can maintain consistent running and predictable control.
Key Features:
- Durable spring-steel construction for consistent tension and long service life
- Sized for Honda GC135 and GC160 (GCAH) engines for a correct, hassle-free fit
- Restores smooth idle and throttle response by maintaining proper return force
- Helps reduce speed hunting and surging caused by a weakened or stretched spring
- Simple to install on existing linkage with basic hand tools
- Stable performance across typical operating temperatures and conditions
- Corrosion-resistant finish for longevity in outdoor and damp environments
- Cost-effective preventive replacement during carburettor or governor service
Typical Applications:
Used on Honda GC135 and GC160 engines in equipment such as pressure washers, water pumps, lawn and garden machinery, light construction tools, and small generators. Ideal when refurbishing throttle linkages, solving erratic idle, or after carburettor cleaning and governor adjustment. Suitable as a routine maintenance replacement to keep throttle control crisp and reliable.
Also known as:
Throttle return spring, carburettor throttle spring, governor control spring, throttle linkage spring, engine control spring.
