ANTO HRX217 Carburetor for HONDA HRX217HMA HRX217HXA HRX217TDA HRX217K1HMA HRX217K1HXA HRX217K1TDA HRX217K2HMA HRX217K2HXA Lawn Mower 16100-Z0Y-813

What It Is

This is an aftermarket carburetor designed to replace the OEM Honda 16100-Z0Y-813 unit on specific HONDA HRX217 models. It handles fuel-air mixing for engines that are hard-starting, surging, or stalling due to a clogged or worn factory carb.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s full model number (found on a sticker under the rear flap or on the engine shroud). This carburetor fits:

• HRX217HMA, HRX217HXA, HRX217TDA
• HRX217K1HMA, HRX217K1HXA, HRX217K1TDA
• HRX217K2HMA, HRX217K2HXA

It is not compatible with HRX217VKA, HRX217HYA, or any model with a different engine suffix. Deck size (21-inch) is consistent across these models, but the carburetor design is specific to the GCV190 engine platform used in these HRX217 variants. This is an aftermarket part—expect slight cosmetic differences from OEM, but mounting holes and gasket alignment should match directly.

Key Things to Know

• Quality variance: Aftermarket carburetors can have minor casting flaws or debris in the bowl. Flush with carb cleaner and compressed air before installation.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need basic hand tools (socket set, screwdrivers) and patience with small springs and linkages. Expect 30–60 minutes.
• Common gotchas: The choke linkage and throttle return spring are easy to misroute. Take photos before removal. Also, the included gaskets may be thin—use OEM gaskets if the original ones are still good.
• Adjustment needed: After installing, you may need to tweak the idle mixture screw (typically 1.5–2 turns out from lightly seated) and the idle speed screw for smooth operation.

Should You Buy It

If your HRX217 is hard-starting, surging, or won’t stay running after cleaning the old carb, this is a cost-effective fix—especially if you’re comfortable with minor adjustments. It’s not a perfect OEM replica, but for $17.60, it’s a solid option for DIYers who want to avoid a $60+ OEM part. Skip it if you want guaranteed longevity or if your mower has a different engine suffix not listed.
