GCV170LA Carburetor Kit Replace 16100-Z9L-811 for Honda GCV170LA HRN216 HRX217 GCV200LA Model Lawn Mower with 17211-Z8B-901 Air Filter 16952-Z8B-000 Fuel Filter Kit

What It Is

This is a complete carburetor service kit for Honda GCV170LA, GCV200LA, and compatible HRN216/HRX217 mower engines. It includes a replacement carburetor, air filter, and fuel filter—everything needed to restore fuel delivery and air intake in one box.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check these before buying:

• Engine model: Must be GCV170LA, GCV200LA, or GCV160/190 variants with the same carburetor. Look for the stamped engine code on the valve cover or engine shroud.
• Mower models: Fits HRN216, HRX217, and others using these engines—but confirm your mower’s engine model, not just the deck model.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket kit, not genuine Honda. The carburetor is pre-adjusted but may need minor tuning on some machines.
• Physical fit: The carburetor measures roughly 4.5 x 3.5 x 3 inches. Check that your existing fuel line and throttle cable match the ports on this unit.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need basic tools (screwdrivers, pliers) and about 30–60 minutes. Fuel system familiarity helps.
• Tuning may be required: The carburetor comes pre-set, but some users report needing to adjust the idle mixture screw for smooth operation.
• Includes gaskets and seals: The kit comes with necessary O-rings and gaskets—no need to buy extras for a standard swap.
• Common gotchas: Ensure the old fuel line is clean; debris can clog the new carb quickly. Also, drain old fuel before starting.

Should You Buy It

If your Honda GCV170LA or GCV200LA mower is hard-starting, surging, or running rough due to a clogged carburetor, this kit is a cost-effective fix. It’s ideal for DIYers who want a complete refresh without sourcing parts individually. Not for professionals needing OEM exactness—some minor tuning may be needed.
