Cnfaner 16100-Z0L-853 Carburetor for Honda GCV160A GCV160LA0 GCV160LA Engines with 16561-Z0L-000 16562-ZM0-000 Spring 17231-Z0L-050 Cleaner Cover Kit

What It Is

This is a complete carburetor assembly for Honda GCV160 engines, commonly found on push mowers, pressure washers, and small generators. It includes the carburetor, gaskets, two springs (16561-Z0L-000 and 16562-ZM0-000), and an air cleaner cover (17231-Z0L-050).

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine model. This fits Honda GCV160A, GCV160LA0, GCV160LA, and similar GCV160 variants. Check the engine code stamped on the metal shroud (e.g., GCV160A S2A). It will not fit GCV190, GCV135, or GXV engines.

Measure your old carburetor’s mounting bolt spacing (approx. 60mm center-to-center). The included springs and air cleaner cover match Honda OEM part numbers, but the carburetor body itself is aftermarket—not genuine Honda. If your mower deck is 21-inch or 22-inch with a GCV160, this likely fits.

Key Things to Know

• Quality is decent for the price – buyers report it works well after a clean install, but a few mention minor casting flash or a slightly sticky float. Inspect and clean before mounting.
• Installation is moderate – you’ll need a socket set, screwdrivers, and possibly carb cleaner. Expect 30–60 minutes. Watch for the two small springs (throttle return and choke) – they’re easy to lose.
• Adjust the idle mixture screw – the aftermarket carb may need a 1.5 to 2 turns out from lightly seated to run smoothly. If it surges or stalls, tweak this.
• Check the fuel line – old fuel lines can crack when swapping; have a small piece of 1/4-inch fuel line on hand just in case.

Should You Buy It

If your Honda GCV160 engine runs rough, won’t start, or leaks fuel from the carb, this is a cost-effective fix. It’s ideal for DIYers who want a drop-in replacement without rebuilding the OEM carb. Skip it if you need genuine Honda parts for warranty or commercial use—the aftermarket body may not last as long as OEM.
