The Honda 16166-Z1V-801 Main Nozzle is a genuine OEM component designed for GXV160 vertical shaft engines and HRC216 lawn mowers. As an authentic Honda part, it delivers the exact calibration required for proper fuel metering in the carburetor — no guesswork, no jetting compromise. This nozzle is a direct OEM replacement, matching the original specification that left the factory, and it fits the models listed above as verified by Honda's own parts catalog. Always confirm your machine's serial number against the fitment table before ordering, as Honda periodically supersedes parts at production breaks.
Key Features
- OEM Fuel Metering Accuracy — genuine Honda construction ensures the fuel-to-air ratio is calibrated to the original carburetor specification, maintaining the clean, consistent fuel delivery the GXV160 engine depends on.
- Direct OEM Replacement — engineered to the same dimensions as the original nozzle, this part seats correctly in the carburetor body without modification.
- Confirmed Fitment — designed for GXV160 vertical shaft engines and HRC216 lawn mowers; check your serial number against the fitment table to confirm the correct part for your unit.
- Restored Engine Response — a worn or clogged main nozzle causes rich or lean running, rough idle, and poor throttle response; replacing it restores crisp, steady power output.
The main nozzle is a precision metering component inside the carburetor that controls the volume of fuel drawn into the airstream during mid-range and full-throttle operation. It works by allowing a calibrated quantity of fuel to mix with incoming air before the mixture enters the combustion chamber. When the nozzle becomes clogged, worn, or damaged, the engine can run erratically, surge under load, or refuse to reach full power — replacing this component is often the most direct path to restoring normal carburetor function.
