Review on Honda GCV160 Carburetor by Gregory Shin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Less hassle and cheaper than cleaning and repairing

Problems with the Honda mower that only runs at full throttle. Did a web search which told me to clean my carburetor and replace the gaskets, there was probably an air leak. So a basketed cleaner costs about $25, while this carburetor is $4 less. I'm not a rocket scientist, but I know the numbers, it was the right way. It comes with 2 spacers. I looked at my disassembled lawn mower prior to ordering and realized that I needed two additional spacers for my setup, so I ordered two spacers at a time. Works like a charm and now I can adjust the speed of the mower. I used a washer to line up the gaskets when I reinstalled everything, it made the job that much easier. Good luck with your project, mine went well and didn't take long.
