16100-Z0L-876 Carburetor for Honda 16100-Z0L-871 GCV160 GCV160A0 GCV160LA0 GCV160LA1 Engine, HRR216 K5 K6 K7 K8 K8-VKA Mower

What It Is

This is a complete carburetor assembly for Honda GCV160 engines, commonly used on HRR216 self-propelled mowers. It replaces the OEM part 16100-Z0L-871 and handles air-fuel mixing for engine starting and running.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine models: GCV160, GCV160A0, GCV160LA0, GCV160LA1
• Mower models: HRR216 K5, K6, K7, K8, K8-VKA (check your model plate on the mower deck)
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a Honda-branded part, not a generic aftermarket. It matches OEM specs and fits without modification.
• What to measure/check: Verify your old carb’s mounting bolt pattern (two 5mm bolts, ~45mm apart) and fuel line diameter (1/4-inch). The gasket and float bowl should match your engine’s orientation.
• Common gotcha: If your mower has a different engine series (e.g., GCV160A0S), confirm the suffix—some early models used a different choke linkage.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: OEM Honda, so materials and jetting are correct. Expect reliable starting and no need to rejet.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate (30-60 minutes). Requires removing air filter housing, fuel line, and throttle linkage. A small screwdriver set and pliers help.
• Common gotchas: The bowl gasket can pinch if over-tightened. Use a torque wrench (3-5 ft-lbs on bowl screw). Also, the choke plate may need minor adjustment if the linkage doesn’t snap into place.
• Warranty: Typically 90 days from Honda. Check seller’s return policy—defective units are rare but possible.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if your Honda GCV160-powered mower is hard-starting, surging, or flooding, and you’ve confirmed the carb is the issue (check for clogged jets or a warped bowl). It’s a direct OEM replacement at a fair price—ideal if you want to avoid rebuilding a gummed-up original. Skip it if you’re comfortable cleaning and reusing your old carb, or if your engine is a different GCV series (e.g., GCV190).
