The Honda 16166-Z1C-H61 Main Nozzle is a genuine OEM replacement designed for HS928, HS1332, HSS928, and HSS1332 two-stage snow blowers. As a direct Honda OEM component, this nozzle is manufactured to the same specification as the original part it replaces, ensuring a drop-in fit with no rework. Confirm your unit's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda supersedes parts at production breaks and more than one variant may cover these models.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fuel Metering — Honda OEM part number 16166-Z1C-H61 ensures the main nozzle delivers the correct fuel flow into the carburetor, keeping the engine's air-fuel mixture on spec across operating conditions.
- Direct OEM Replacement — sourced directly from Honda, this nozzle installs into the carburetor the same way the original did, with no adaptation or modification needed.
- Broad Two-Stage Snow Blower Coverage — fits HS928, HS1332, HSS928, and HSS1332 two-stage snow blowers, including both the HS and HSS lines.
- Check Your Serial Number — Honda updates part supersessions at serial number breaks, so verify your machine's serial number against the fitment table to confirm this is the correct nozzle for your unit.
- Restore Hard-Starting and Running Issues — a worn or clogged main nozzle disrupts fuel delivery, causing hard starts, rough running, or poor power under load; replacing it restores clean carburetion.
The main nozzle is a precision metering component inside the carburetor of a two-stage snow blower engine. Its job is to draw a calibrated amount of fuel from the float bowl and introduce it into the airstream passing through the carburetor venturi, producing the combustible mixture the engine needs to run. When the nozzle becomes worn, blocked by varnish deposits, or damaged, fuel delivery is disrupted — the engine may be hard to start, run unevenly, surge under load, or lose power when clearing heavy snow. Replacing a faulty main nozzle with a genuine Honda OEM part restores accurate fuel metering and brings the carburetor back to the correct operating state.
