GCV160 Carburetor Kit with Air Filter & Spark Plug - for Honda GCV160 Engine HRR216 HRB216 HRS216 HRT216 HRZ216 Lawn Mower & Pressure Washer

What It Is

This is a complete tune-up kit for Honda GCV160 engines, bundling a carburetor, air filter, and spark plug. It’s designed for lawn mowers (HRR216, HRB216, HRS216, HRT216, HRZ216) and pressure washers using that engine.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine check: Must be a Honda GCV160 (not GCV190 or GCV200). Look for the engine model code stamped on the blower housing or valve cover.
• Mower models: Fits HRR216, HRB216, HRS216, HRT216, HRZ216 series—any deck size works as long as the engine matches.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket kit. OEM Honda part numbers for reference: 16100-Z0M-023 (carburetor), 17211-Z0L-000 (air filter), 98079-55846 (spark plug). Check your existing parts for these numbers to confirm cross-compatibility.
• Physical measurements: Carburetor body dimensions are standard GCV160 (approx. 4.5” x 3” x 3”). Air filter is rectangular, about 5” x 3.5”. Spark plug gap should be set to 0.028-0.031 inches before installation.

Key Things to Know

• Quality variance: As an aftermarket kit, fitment is generally good, but some users report slightly looser tolerances on the carburetor gaskets. Inspect for warping before installation.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need basic tools (screwdrivers, socket set) and about 30-60 minutes. Must remove the engine shroud and fuel line—watch for fuel spillage.
• Common gotcha: The included spark plug may be pre-gapped incorrectly. Always check and adjust gap with a feeler gauge. Also, the carburetor bowl screw can be tight; use a proper driver to avoid stripping.
• Performance: Usually fixes hard-starting, surging, or stalling issues. If problems persist after install, check the fuel line for clogs or old gas.

Should You Buy It

This kit is ideal for DIY homeowners who want a cost-effective, single-purchase solution to revive a Honda GCV160 mower or pressure washer that’s running rough. If you prefer OEM reliability or need exact factory tolerances, buy the individual Honda-branded parts instead.
