Review on Optimized FitBest Carburetor Kit for Honda GX240 8HP GX270 9HP Engines | Replaces 16100-ZE2-W71 & 16100-ZH9-W21 | With Gaskets and Insulator by Corey Greene

Not for Honda GX 270

Runs like a champ. Better performance than OEM carburetors. However, it will not fit the Honda GX 270. There is a fuel cut-off (great!) but it sticks out on the side of the carburetor and does not allow you to reinstall the air filter housing. Nothing good. The throttling mechanism also cannot be used as it causes it to cycle on and off through the air filter area. It works great though, so I'll try to find a non-OEM air filter housing to put here. . The fuel cut off is a really nice feature to run dry and avoid deposits that led to me needing a new carburetor in the first place. In this case, it is worth purchasing an additional air filter housing.

Pros
  • Superb construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
