16100-Z8B-901 Carburetor with Air Filter Gaskets Spark Plug for Honda GCV160LA0 HRR216K10 HRR216K9 HRS216K5 HRS216K6 Lawn Mower

What It Is

This is a complete replacement carburetor kit for Honda GCV160 engines, commonly found on HRR216 and HRS216 series lawn mowers. It includes the carburetor, air filter, gaskets, and a spark plug—everything needed to fix starting or running issues caused by a clogged or failed fuel system.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine model is Honda GCV160LA0 (check the label near the spark plug or under the air filter cover). This kit fits mower decks HRR216K10, HRR216K9, HRS216K5, and HRS216K6 specifically. It is not compatible with GCV160 engines on other equipment (e.g., pressure washers) or GCV190/160 variants like GCV160A1 or GCV160L0A.

• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an OEM Honda part (16100-Z8B-901), so it matches factory specs exactly.
• Measurements: The carburetor mounting bolt spacing is standard for GCV160; no special tools or adapters needed.
• Check: Ensure your mower uses a standard NGK BPR6ES or equivalent spark plug (included) and that the air filter housing matches the included filter shape.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need basic tools (socket set, screwdrivers, pliers) and about 30–45 minutes. Watch a YouTube guide for your specific deck model.
• Common gotchas: The carburetor gaskets are thin and can tear easily—install them dry, not wet. Also, the included spark plug gap is pre-set, but double-check it (0.028–0.031 in) with a feeler gauge.
• Quality: OEM Honda means reliable fit and materials. Some users report the air filter is slightly less dense than OEM original, but it works fine for regular mowing.
• Don’t skip: Replace the fuel filter (sold separately) if you haven’t in a year—old debris can ruin the new carb quickly.

Should You Buy It

Buy this kit if your GCV160-powered mower is hard to start, stalls, or runs rough, and you want a simple, all-in-one fix without sourcing separate parts. It’s ideal for DIY homeowners who prefer OEM quality over cheaper no-name carburetors. Skip it if your engine model isn’t listed or if you only need a spark plug—buy that part alone instead.
