ANTO GCV190 Carburetor for Honda 16100-Z0Y-853 GCV 190 HRX217 GCV190A GV190LA HRB217 HRX217K1 HRX217K2 Manual Choke Lawn Mower Pressure Washer Engines Tune Up Kit

What It Is

This is an aftermarket carburetor assembly designed to replace the OEM Honda 16100-Z0Y-853 on GCV190 engines. It’s intended for push mowers (Honda HRX217, HRB217 series), pressure washers, and other small equipment using that engine, and includes a manual choke for direct cable or lever operation.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm:

• Engine model: Must be Honda GCV190, GCV190A, GV190LA, or GV190. Check the engine tag (not mower model) for “GCV190” or “GV190”.
• OEM part number: Direct replacement for Honda 16100-Z0Y-853. Verify your current carburetor’s part number—often stamped on the side.
• Mower models: Fits HRX217K1, HRX217K2, HRB217, but also many other mowers and pressure washers using the GCV190 engine. Deck size doesn’t matter—engine fit does.
• Choke type: Manual choke only. If your engine has an auto-choke (common on newer HRX217s), this won’t work without swapping the choke linkage.
• Measurements: Gasket and mounting holes match OEM. No adapter required. Inlet fuel nipple is standard 1/4” hose.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket unit—functional but not identical to OEM. Users report it works well out of the box but may need minor gasket trimming or idle screw adjustment. Expect 80-90% OEM reliability.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the air filter housing, fuel line, and throttle/governor linkage. Keep the old linkage spring and screws—some aftermarket hardware is soft.
• Common gotcha: The supplied gaskets may be slightly thicker or thinner than OEM. Reuse your original metal gasket if possible, or apply a thin layer of gasket sealant.
• Manual choke note: If your mower has a remote choke cable, this carburetor’s choke lever is easy to attach. If you have a plastic auto-choke housing, you’ll need to modify or replace the entire assembly.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if your Honda GCV190 engine’s carburetor is clogged or leaking beyond cleaning, and you’re comfortable with basic small-engine repair. It’s a budget-friendly fix for older mowers or pressure washers where OEM cost ($50+) isn’t justified. Skip it if you want plug-and-play perfection or have an auto-choke engine—stick with OEM for guaranteed fit and durability.
