Review on Honda Carburetor 16100-Z0L-853 and Gasket Set: Complete Replacement Parts for Efficient Fuel System Performance by Jordan Weakland

I am very glad I ordered this carburetor with GASKETS. The Honda GCV160 engine has a lot of these if you remove the carburetor/air cleaner assembly. There's a good chance some of them will snap or get damaged in the process. Who wants to look for more gaskets after replacing the carburetor? I also suggest that you remove the entire assembly very carefully and leave the long screws in the assembly when pulling it out of the engine. I'm confused as to which gaskets are from which interface and how the black plastic block faced the engine block. It might sound silly, but if you break it down you'll see what I'm describing. After installation, the engine choked and eventually started, then was difficult to start. I took everything apart again, removed the bowl and checked the float/needle. The float can get stuck in the open position. I installed everything very carefully, hoping to put the gaskets in the right places. Started right up and now works perfectly.
