16100-Z0L-876 Carburetor 16620-Z8D-305 Thermowax for Honda GCV160A0 GCV160LA0 GCV160LA Engine HRR216 HRX217 VKAA Walk Behind Lawn Mower with air Filter Kit

What It Is

This is a kit containing the Honda 16100-Z0L-876 carburetor and 16620-Z8D-305 thermowax, plus an air filter kit, designed specifically for Honda GCV160 engines used in HRR216 and HRX217 walk-behind mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine models: Honda GCV160A0, GCV160LA0, GCV160LA (check your engine’s model code stamped on the blower housing or valve cover)
• Mower models: HRR216, HRX217, VKAA series (confirm your mower’s model number under the seat or on the deck)
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a genuine Honda kit, so no fitment guesswork—direct replacement for the original parts
• What to verify: Ensure your mower uses the GCV160 engine (not GCV190 or GCV200), and that the thermowax actuator matches your choke linkage style (some later models use a different cable)

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Genuine Honda parts—reliable, correct tolerances, no gasket or O-ring issues common with cheap knockoffs
• Installation difficulty: Moderate—requires removing the air filter housing, fuel line, and throttle linkage. Have a small screwdriver set and needle-nose pliers handy
• Common gotchas: The thermowax has a tiny plunger that must be correctly aligned with the choke lever. If it’s off, the engine won’t start or will run poorly. Also, drain the fuel tank before disconnecting lines
• Air filter included: The kit comes with a foam pre-filter and paper element—good to replace both while you’re in there

Should You Buy It

Buy this if your Honda GCV160 mower is hard-starting, surging, or stalling after sitting for months, or if the thermowax has failed (choke stays open when cold). It’s a complete fix for fuel and choke issues at a fair price, and genuine Honda quality means no future compatibility headaches.
