HIPA GCV190 HRX217 Carburetor for Honda GCV 190 GCV190LA GCV190A Engine HRX 217 HRB217 HRX217K1 HRX217K2 Lawn Mower Replace 16100-Z0Y-813 Pressure Washer

What It Is

This is a complete aftermarket carburetor for Honda GCV160, GCV190, and GCV190A engines, commonly found on Honda HRX217 and HRB217 mowers, as well as some pressure washers. It replaces OEM part 16100-Z0Y-813 and restores engine starting, idling, and power when the original carb clogs or fails.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine model is one of: GCV160, GCV190, GCV190LA, or GCV190A. On Honda mowers, this fits HRX217, HRX217K1, HRX217K2, HRB217, and similar models. It also works on pressure washers using the same GCV190 engine. Do not rely on mower deck size—match the engine model, not the deck. This is an aftermarket part, not OEM Honda; tolerances may vary slightly, but it’s a direct bolt-on replacement with the same gaskets and mounting pattern. Check that your old carburetor has the same choke linkage style (manual or automatic) before swapping.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Expect to remove the air filter housing, fuel lines, and throttle linkage. A basic socket set and screwdrivers are sufficient.
• Common gotcha: The included gaskets may be thinner than OEM. Use a thin smear of grease to hold them in place during assembly to prevent vacuum leaks.
• Quality note: This carb is fully assembled and pre-set from the factory. Some users report needing to adjust the idle mixture screw slightly for perfect running. Test immediately after install.
• Fuel system prep: If your old carb failed due to ethanol varnish or debris, flush the fuel tank and replace the fuel filter—otherwise the new carb may clog quickly.

Should You Buy It

If your Honda GCV190-equipped mower or pressure washer won’t start, runs rough, or stalls under load, and you’ve confirmed the carburetor is the issue (not spark or compression), this is a cost-effective fix. It’s ideal for DIY mechanics who want to save on a dealer repair and don’t mind 30–45 minutes of labor. Skip it if you prefer OEM-only parts for critical equipment or if your engine has other underlying issues.
