Product Details

The Quicksilver 71464A01 Automatic Choke Thermostat is a genuine OEM replacement choke thermostat spring designed for MerCruiser inboard marine engines equipped with Rochester 2-barrel and Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetors. This divorced choke thermostat mounts directly to the intake manifold surface, where it uses engine heat to automatically regulate choke operation for reliable cold-start performance and smooth warm-up.

The divorced (also called crossover) choke design routes heat from the intake manifold through a bimetal thermostat spring to open the choke plate progressively as the engine reaches operating temperature. This ensures proper fuel-air mixture enrichment at startup without causing over-rich running conditions once the engine warms up.

Key Features:

  • Genuine OEM Quicksilver / Mercury Marine part
  • Divorced choke design — mounts on the intake manifold surface
  • Compatible with Rochester 2bbl (2-barrel) and Quadrajet 4-barrel marine carburetors
  • Bimetal thermostat spring provides automatic, temperature-sensitive choke control
  • Direct OEM replacement — no modification required
  • Sold as a single unit

Cross-Reference Part Numbers: 71464, 72625, Sierra 18-7667, RN0173

This choke thermostat is the correct OEM solution for restoring proper automatic choke function on MerCruiser sterndrive engines. Using a genuine Quicksilver part ensures correct calibration and fit for dependable marine engine starting and operation.

Even though I checked the 20offshipping it did not apply it at checkout.
