Kawasaki 16041-7051 Carburetor Throttle Shaft

Product Description

The KAWASAKI 16041-7051 is a carburetor throttle shaft designed for use in Kawasaki small engines found in lawn and garden power equipment. The throttle shaft connects the throttle linkage to the carburetor body, controlling airflow and engine speed by rotating within the carburetor bore. This is an OEM replacement component installed by small engine technicians and experienced equipment service professionals when the original shaft is worn, bent, or damaged enough to cause erratic idle, poor throttle response, or air leakage past the throttle plate.

This throttle shaft is intended for Kawasaki-powered lawn and garden equipment where the original carburetor throttle shaft has failed or is no longer serviceable. Typical applications include walk-behind mowers, riding mowers, and other outdoor power equipment fitted with compatible Kawasaki small engines. Proper throttle shaft condition is critical for maintaining correct fuel-air mixture and consistent engine performance across operating speeds.

Key Features

• OEM Kawasaki replacement part ensuring direct fitment and factory-spec dimensions
• Controls throttle plate rotation within the carburetor bore for accurate engine speed regulation
• Designed for Kawasaki small engines used in lawn and garden power equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement throttle shaft for compatible Kawasaki small engines used in lawn and garden equipment. Refer to your engine model and serial number to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified small engine technician. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ensure the fuel supply is shut off before disassembling the carburetor. Full carburetor disassembly is typically required to remove and replace the throttle shaft, and carburetor rebuild kits or gaskets may be needed to complete the service properly. Follow the engine manufacturer service manual for correct reassembly procedures.
