Hipa GCV160 Carburetor for Honda GCV160A GCV160LA GCV160LE GCV160LA0 Engine HRT216 HRB216 HRR216 HRS216 HRZ216 Lawn Mower Pressure Washer 16100-Z0L-023 16100-ZM0-804

What It Is

This is an aftermarket carburetor for Honda GCV160 engines found on lawn mowers (HRT216, HRB216, HRR216, HRS216, HRZ216 series) and pressure washers. It replaces OEM part numbers 16100-Z0L-023 and 16100-ZM0-804, supplying the correct fuel-air mixture for starting and running.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine model is GCV160A, GCV160LA, GCV160LE, or GCV160LA0—not GCV160 (no suffix) or GCV190. Check the carburetor mounting pattern (two bolts, 80mm center-to-center) and fuel line diameter (1/4-inch). This is an aftermarket part, not Honda OEM; it may lack the same brass jets or gasket quality. Measure your old carburetor’s intake flange thickness and compare to the included gasket. Works on most Honda push mowers with GCV160 engines, but verify your deck model (e.g., HRT216) is listed.

Key Things to Know

• Quality varies: Some units have poorly seated float needles or debris in the bowl. Flush with carb cleaner before installing.
• Installation is straightforward: Remove air filter housing, two bolts, fuel line, and throttle linkage. Swap gaskets, bolt on new carb, reconnect lines and linkage.
• Common gotchas: The choke plate may be reversed or the fuel shut-off solenoid (if equipped) might not transfer. Keep your old solenoid.
• Adjustment needed: Idle mixture screw is preset; you may need to fine-tune it (turn 1.5 turns out from lightly seated) if engine hunts or stalls.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a low-cost replacement for a clogged or worn GCV160 carburetor and are comfortable with basic engine work. Skip it if you want OEM reliability or have a GCV190 engine—then buy Honda’s genuine carburetor. It’s a solid budget fix for a non-starting mower, but expect to do minor adjustments.
