The Honda 16100-ZE3-W12 Carburetor Assembly (BE47A C) is a genuine OEM replacement designed for GX340 horizontal shaft engines. As a direct Honda OEM component, this carburetor assembly is manufactured to the exact specifications required for the GX340, ensuring correct fuel metering, air-fuel ratio, and jetting right out of the box. Confirm your engine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes carburetor assemblies at production breaks and the BE47A C variant designation identifies which configuration applies to your unit.
Key Features
- Correct Fuel Metering — genuine OEM construction means the jets, needle, and emulsion circuits are calibrated specifically for the GX340, so the engine starts cleanly and runs at the right mixture across the throttle range.
- Exact Variant Match — the BE47A C designation identifies a specific carburetor configuration; match this code to your engine's parts list to confirm you have the right assembly before installation.
- Direct OEM Replacement — this assembly installs in place of the original unit with no alterations required to fuel lines, linkage, or the air cleaner housing.
- Serial Number Awareness — Honda issues replacement carburetors by serial range on the GX340; check your engine's serial number against the compatibility table to verify this is the correct part for your unit.
- Restored Engine Response — a worn or gummed carburetor causes hard starting, rough idle, and poor throttle response; replacing it with this genuine assembly restores smooth, consistent power delivery.
The carburetor is the component responsible for mixing fuel and air in the precise ratio the engine needs to combust efficiently. On a GX340 horizontal shaft engine, the carburetor draws fuel from the tank, meters it through calibrated jets and a needle circuit, and blends it with filtered air before delivering the mixture to the combustion chamber. When the carburetor wears, becomes clogged with varnish from stale fuel, or develops internal leaks, the engine will struggle to start, idle roughly, surge under load, or run rich and foul the spark plug — replacing the assembly with part number 16100-ZE3-W12 restores the fuel delivery the GX340 was engineered around.
