Genuine 16100-Z8B-901 Carburetor kit for Honda GCV160 HRR216 HRS216 Lawn Mower include Genuine 16212-Z8B-900 17228-Z8B-900 19651-Z0L-000 Gaskets and Spark Plug 98079-55846

What It Is

This is a genuine Honda carburetor kit (16100-Z8B-901) for GCV160 engines used on HRR216 and HRS216 walk-behind mowers. It includes the carburetor assembly plus all required gaskets and a factory spark plug—everything needed to refresh the fuel system in one box.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a Honda GCV160 engine (check the engine label, not the deck). This kit fits HRR216 and HRS216 mower models with that engine. It does not fit GCV190, GCV200, or older GXV engines. The included spark plug (98079-55846) is the correct heat range for GCV160—do not substitute. No deck size check needed; the kit is engine-specific.

Key Things to Know

• Genuine Honda parts – This is OEM, not aftermarket. Gaskets and plug are factory-spec, so fit and durability are guaranteed.
• Installation is moderate – Expect 30-60 minutes. You’ll need basic tools (screwdrivers, socket set) and carburetor cleaner. Watch a GCV160 carb swap video first if you’re not experienced.
• Common gotcha – The float bowl gasket (17228-Z8B-900) is thin and tears easily; handle gently during reassembly. Also, the spark plug gap is pre-set but verify it’s 0.028-0.031 inches.
• Includes everything – No extra gaskets or plug to buy. The kit replaces the carb, bowl gasket, carb-to-engine gasket, and spark plug in one purchase.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if your GCV160-powered Honda mower is hard-starting, surging, or won’t run after stale fuel. The OEM kit eliminates guesswork and ensures a clean, reliable fix. It’s overkill if you only need a spark plug—buy the plug alone for ~$5. For a full fuel system refresh, this is the right price and part.
