Review on Carburetor for Honda GCV160 HRT216 GCV160a GCV160LAO GCV160LA0 HRS216 HRB216 HRR216 HRZ216 - Honda GCV160LA GCV160LE Compatible by Neil Biondo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Motor runs again

Combined with YT's how-to videos, this kit saved me $$$ and the hassle of restarting my mower at the shop (it stopped during the first mowing of spring). a few minutes and none of the simple solutions suggested on the web helped to reboot). Everything worked, the carburettor cleaning spray worked wonders and the Honda engine runs like new again. After seeing the dirt that has accumulated in the carburetor over 2 winters, starting this spring I will only be feeding my small engines ethanol-free petrol. Tip: Make sure you know your exact GV160 engine/carburetor model as there are so many options. I had to send back the first set I bought because I didn't understand it. Finally I removed the original carburetor and read its model number printed on the side and then checked the Revain and Honda website for the exact engine/carburetor model numbers before ordering this kit.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Big and bulky
