624-41256-00 – Rod – Yamaha

The 624-41256-00 Rod is a genuine OEM choke linkage rod for Yamaha and Mariner outboard engines. This choke rod helps connect the choke control to the carburetor mechanism so your engine can start easily when cold. It moves when you adjust the choke lever, and it works with other linkage parts to position the choke plate properly. This rod appears in Yamaha parts diagrams where it routes between controls and the carburetor assembly for correct choke action.

When the 624-41256-00 Rod functions well, your choke mechanism responds smoothly and helps deliver the right air-fuel mixture for cold starts. Many older outboards use this type of choke rod in small-engine installations, especially on 3.5A and 3.5AC models. Replacing a bent or worn choke rod restores even movement and reduces wear on adjacent linkage parts.

Because this part sits between the choke lever and carburetor, bad or corroded rods can make your choke feel stiff or inconsistent. Replacing a faulty rod improves starting performance, especially in cool weather when choke action matters most.
