Review on πŸ”§ Honda 16100-Z0L-853 Carburetor: Premium Performance & Easy Installation by Travis Flores

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great and is easy to replace.

. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the replacement is. On my particular lawnmower, there are only two bolts holding the carburetor in place. They go through the air filter assembly so that should come loose as well. The only real problem I had was that I couldn't see past the air cleaner assembly until I ripped the carb off the engine, photo attached. I'm not a mechanic and couldn't find the actual names of the parts in question, so I named them Bob and Todd. Essentially, since you're looking at the engine from the front to the left, Bob (which is part of the throttle body) has to be to Todd's right or the engine won't start. It seems to be Bob who opens Todd who is the air valve. Once I lined them up correctly, my lawn mower started right away. Replacing the carburetor also requires removing the air intake hose, fuel line, regulator and throttle spring. I also bought a set of gaskets but only used one new gasket as the rest was in good condition.

Pros
  • . Very good price.
Cons
  • . Appearance
