The Honda 16100-Z8S-811 is a genuine OEM Carburetor Assembly (BE70N A) designed for GX240 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM component, this carburetor assembly is manufactured to the exact specifications required for proper fuel metering and air-fuel mixture delivery on the GX240. Honda supersedes carburetor assemblies at serial breaks, so verify your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to confirm part number 16100-Z8S-811 is the correct variant for your unit. When a carburetor fails or wears, engines run rich, run lean, surge, or refuse to start — replacing it with the correct OEM assembly restores clean, stable combustion.
Key Features
- OEM Fuel Metering Accuracy — factory-calibrated jetting and needle seat geometry ensure the correct air-fuel ratio across the GX240's operating range, so the engine pulls full power without surging or hunting.
- Variant-Specific Fitment — the BE70N A designation identifies this as a specific carburetor variant; match it to the part number and serial range shown in the fitment table before installing.
- Direct OEM Replacement — drops into the GX240 in place of the original unit with no alteration to intake or fuel line connections.
- Serial Number Verification Advised — Honda issues carburetor supersessions at defined serial breaks on the GX240; check your engine's serial number against the compatibility table to confirm this is the right assembly for your machine.
The carburetor is responsible for blending fuel and air in the precise ratio the engine needs to run efficiently at idle, mid-range, and full throttle. On GX240 horizontal shaft engines, the carburetor draws fuel from the tank, meters it through calibrated jets and a needle circuit, and mixes it with filtered air before delivering the charge to the combustion chamber. When the carburetor wears, clogs, or develops a leak at the needle seat or float, the engine will surge at idle, lose power under load, run excessively rich, or fail to start altogether — symptoms that a correctly specified OEM replacement resolves directly.
