Hipa GCV190 Carburetor for Honda GCV190LA GCV190A HRX217 HRB217 HRX217K1 HRX217K2 HRX217K4 HRX217K5 Lawn Mower Replace 16100-Z0Y-813

What It Is

This is a direct-replacement carburetor for Honda GCV190 engines, commonly used on Honda HRX217 and HRB217 walk-behind mowers. It restores fuel delivery and engine performance when the original carb clogs or fails.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower’s engine model (look for GCV190LA or GCV190A on the engine shroud or valve cover). This carb replaces OEM part 16100-Z0Y-813 and fits Honda mower models HRX217K1, K2, K4, K5, HRX217HMA, HRX217HYA, HRX217TDA, HRB217K1, K2, K3, and K4. It also fits many Honda-powered pressure washers and generators with the same GCV190 engine. It does not fit GCV160, GCV200, or GXV engines. Measure the mounting bolt spacing (approx. 60mm center-to-center) and fuel inlet size (8mm) to match your existing unit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket, not OEM Honda. Most users report good performance, but a small percentage get a defective unit (check for casting flaws or stuck floats before install).
• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need to remove the air filter housing, fuel line, and two bolts. Expect 20–40 minutes if you’re handy.
• Gotcha: The carb comes with a pre-installed solenoid (if equipped) but may lack the gasket set—buy a separate gasket kit (16100-Z0Y-813 gasket set) if yours is missing.
• Tuning: No adjustments needed out of the box, but if the engine hunts or stalls, clean the jets or check the fuel line for debris.

Should You Buy It

If your Honda GCV190 mower won’t start, runs rough, or stalls after sitting with old gas, this is a cost-effective fix—just be prepared for a small risk of defects and have a gasket set handy. It’s right for DIYers who want to save $40–60 over an OEM carb.
