ANTO 16100-Z8B-901 Carburetor for Honda GCV160LA0 GCV160LA1 Engine HRR216K10 HRR216K11 HRR216K9 HRS216K5 HRS216K6 HRS216K7 Mowers

What It Is

This is a direct-replacement carburetor for Honda GCV160 engines, specifically the GCV160LA0 and GCV160LA1 models. It’s designed for Honda HRR216 and HRS216 series mowers, delivering fuel to the engine for starting and running.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your engine model—look for a sticker on the engine shroud or near the spark plug. This carb fits GCV160LA0 and GCV160LA1 engines only, not GCV160A or GCV160L1 variants. It’s compatible with mower models HRR216K10, K11, K9, and HRS216K5, K6, K7. Deck size doesn’t matter; the engine model is the key. This is an aftermarket part, not OEM Honda, but dimensions match the original 16100-Z8B-901. Measure the mounting stud spacing (center-to-center) to confirm—should be 2.5 inches. Also check that your throttle linkage and choke cable align; some older mowers may need minor bracket adjustments.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Most users report it works out of the box, but a few note minor casting burrs—inspect the gasket surface before installing.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty; you’ll need a socket set, screwdriver, and possibly needle-nose pliers for spring clips. Usually 30-45 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The included gasket may be thin—use a thin layer of gasket sealant if you see any fuel seepage after install.
• Tuning: May require a slight idle mixture screw adjustment (1.5 turns out from fully closed is a good starting point).

Should You Buy It

Yes, if your GCV160 engine is hard-starting, surging, or won’t run at all and you’ve ruled out spark and fuel line issues. It’s a budget-friendly fix that works reliably for most users, but if you want guaranteed OEM fit and longevity, spend more on a genuine Honda carb.
