Honda 16953-ZE1-812 Lever Petcock Fuel Valve

Product Description

The HONDA 16953-ZE1-812 is a genuine OEM lever petcock - a manually operated fuel shutoff valve that controls fuel flow from the tank to the carburetor on small engine equipment. The valve uses a simple lever mechanism to open, close, or reserve fuel supply, preventing carburetor flooding during storage and enabling fuel shutoff for service. Constructed from plastic and weighing 0.25 pounds, this part is manufactured to OEM fit, form, and function standards. It is installed by small engine technicians and qualified service personnel during routine maintenance or fuel system repair.

This lever petcock is suited for use on Honda small engine platforms including generators, lawn mowers, tillers, water pumps, and similar equipment using the ZE1-series engine family. It is a direct OEM replacement for the original fuel valve assembly and is intended for applications where the existing petcock is leaking, cracked, or no longer seating properly. Installation is typically performed during seasonal maintenance or as part of a carburetor service.
