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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

works best in fuel system

Arrived on time and in good condition. Honda GCV160 mower engine runs like new. It's poor design and harder to install than it should be (even for a professional mechanic). Do not mix up seals and multiple seals! Make sure the finger operating the choke lever is in the right place as you juggle the bolts, washers, washers and throttle linkage. PS Replace the air filter before buying a new carburetor. The symptoms of clogged carburetor air passages and a dirty air filter are very similar. These engines are very prone to rich running, pulsing and spark plug fouling due to a slightly dirty air filter or if one of the tiny air passages in the carburetor is clogged. I live at high altitude which makes this condition more common.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Compatibility
